SENĆOŦEN: A Grammar of the Saanich Language

26 Location Expressions

In §9, SENĆOŦEN serial verb constructions were introduced. There it was noted that English uses prepositions to talk about location: in, on, near, to, from, inside, outside, above, below, around, toward, and so on. But SENĆOŦEN has only one preposition: ¸E (review §8). Instead of prepositions, SENĆOŦEN uses special intransitive verbs that refer to place, position, and direction. This section introduces some more of them. You can find more extensive information about location and direction ideas in SENĆOŦEN in §27.
