.... With these underlying assumptions and features, situation semantics provides a fundamental and appropriate framework for a realistic model theoretic semantics of natural language [10] Various versions of this theory have been applied to a number of linguistic issues (mainly) in English [7, 8, 9, 20, 22, 23, 29, 33, 41]. The ideas emerging from research in situation semantics have also been coalesced with well developed linguistic theories such as lexical functional grammar [45] and led to rigorous formalisms [31] On the other hand, situation semantics has been compared to other influential mathematical ....

....locative modifiers as predicates over an e variable. Now, it comes out that certain locatives (the ones occurring in APPs) while not directly modifing any NP, are nevertheless predicates over individuals rather than events. This is, I think, a positive and important result. It is noted in Cooper (1986) that stative verbs are not in any way dependent on the space: Independence of space (statives) if h is a realized history and h l (r; a 1 ; a n ) 1(0) then h l (r; a 1 ; a n ) 1(0) where 1 is the spatial extension of l to include all space. This seems reasonable, as ....
