found that Talmy's primitives, which were common across
many languages, were very useful as a basic set for kn. rep. of
spatial relationships, and she used them as a basis for her
dissertation.

Stanford civil engineering dept., who said that they done a lot
more work extending and developing that original set of relations
that Iris T. had started with.
