- Abstract
This paper analyses the meaning of aquí, acá, ahí, allí and allá in Mexican Spanish from a cognitive semantics viewpoint. The paradigm is distributed along binary lines based on: 1) construal and base parameters, where the series with -á ending are contrasted with the -í ending in degrees of subjectivity; 2) integration of ego in the reference space, in which acá represents the total integration and allá, the separation imposed by some conceptual obstacle; 3) the domain of ego, in which aquí designates the locations inside this domain; and 4) focality, in which allí designates the locations in the lowfocal region, and ahí, the locations in a high-focal region. Because its value is more objective and focal, ahí assumes the role of the unmarked member of the category.
