Wiki Version:
The meaning of projective prepositions like behind is sensitive to perspective. We claim that perspective is determined via a contextually-supplied vector variable, which can be bound with a construction we call a from-adjunct (e.g., from the door in sentences like “From the door, the ball is behind the chair.”) (Barlew 2016). We give a compositional account of from-adjuncts and projective prepositions using Vector Space Semantics (Zwarts & Winter 2000) in which the from-adjunct acts as a correlative structure, binding the vector variable of perspectival items in its scope.
