Abstract

The article focuses on the attributive word phrases the dependent components of which describe a thing by place {girių takai, rytinis krantas, langas į sodą). The research data arc collected from Lithuanian fiction and periodical press. The relations of place arc analysed on the basis of the lexical composition and morphological structure of a word phrase. The integration of various means of expression (noun cases, prepositional constructions, relative adjectives) to a solid system reveals the shades of meaning of the attributive word phrases under discussion, brings out the problem of synonyms and the interaction between non-standard and standard facts. The concreteness / abstractiveness of the principal component in a word phrase also plays a certain role in determining the tendencies of expression of the attribute. Attributive word phrases with a verbal noun show a particularly broad diversity of expression. Verbal nouns can come into combination with the majority of noun cases, prepositional constructions, adverb (arbas Seime, važiavimas vieškeliu, išvyka į pajūrį, gyvenimas svetur).
