<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="DE">Dear Arnold<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="DE"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="DE">Since you're giving your search a second chance, my speaker's intuition whispers that French could fit in too :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="DE"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="DE">"I broke my leg in three places" can be translated as "je me suis cassé la jambe en trois endroits" (1sgSUB 1sgOBJ Aux broke the leg in three places). But actually, this translation may only be understood as body-location.
If I were to mean event-location, I would have to use the preposition "dans" (= in) instead of "en" (= in). Hence "je me suis cassé la jambe dans trois endroits". This last sentence doesn't sound very natural though, and it would be better to specify "dans
trois endroits différents" (= in three different places). Finally, an alternate preposition with also a body-location reading would be "à" (=<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="DE">at) : "Je me suis cassé la jambe à trois endroits (différents)" cannot have an event-location reading.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="DE"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="DE">I don't know if the above can be generalized and I don't know about any published work on that matter, but as a linguist I am not a specialist of French.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
