Summary/Abstract: This paper will examine the semantic and syntactic description of explicative locative in the syntactic function of nominal attribute, determining its structural models and explaining the way these models function. These models are used for establishing particular examples. It shows that this prepositional case expression is semantically closely connected with qualitative locative, that the explicative locative meaning is, in fact, a subtype of qualitative meaning, and that explicative locative constructions should be described as qualitative.
