The goal of this formalism is, given a prepositional phrase, to define its possible spatial interpretations. For this, we propose to characterize spatial prepositions by means of a triplet $\\langle $image schema, semantic feature, spatial axis$\\rangle $. The core of SSP is predicate grounding theories, which are formulas of a first-order language that define a spatial preposition through the semantic features of its trajector and landmark. Precisifications are also established, which are a set of formulae of a qualitative spatial reasoning formalism that aims to provide the spatial characterization of the trajector with respect to the landmark. In addition to the theoretical model, we also present results of a computational implementation of SSP for the preposition \u2018in\u2019.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/logcom\/exz034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,26]],"date-time":"2019-11-26T20:13:32Z","timestamp":1574799212000},"page":"635-661","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Standpoint semantics for polysemy in spatial prepositions"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Edilson J","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Exatas e Tecnologia, Universidade Paulista (UNIP): Rua da Paz, 797, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, CEP: 04713-001"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulo E","family":"Santos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Science and Engineering, Flinders University, 1284 South Road, Tonsley, South Australia, 5042, Centro Universit\u00e1rio da FEI, Av.
