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.

Verbal nouns can come into combination with the majority of noun cases, prepositional constructions, adverb (arbas Seime, važiavimas vieškeliu, išvyka į pajūrį, gyvenimas svetur)
