• The goal of this paper is to analyse spatial expressions in Aquilan: spatial prepositions (a, ‘nfronte), indexicals (ecco, loco) and pronouns (addo’), thus analysing three problems related to these categories. It is shown that these categories share similar morphological structures and syntactic distribution, which govern their semantic intra- and inter-sentential interpretation. An account of these properties is given and shown to handle data related to the polysemy of prepositions (e.g. a) in various contexts. The main claim is that spatial expressions share one morphological category, labelled as “simple ASP” (e.g. a ‘at/to’), which also determines their syntactic and semantic convergences.
