A MODEL OF DETERMINING A PLACE ASSIGNED BY "MAE (IN FRONT OF)" OF AN OBJECT WHICH HAS DIRECTIONABILITY

In the previous paper, we showed that investigating a place assigned by Japanese word "MAE (in front of)" is useful to judge whether an object has ability producing a sense of direction. We call the ability "directionability". If the object has the directionability, direction of the place is determined by only an aspect of the object. In this paper, we constructed a model determining a place assigned by the word "in front of" an object. This model also explains the stochastic distribution of the distance between the object and the place. We verified the model by investigation.
