Russian prepositions v and na

[Carolien en Joop Kok]

        Dear Seelangers,

        Who knows anything about a theory on spatial relations expressed
        by the russian prepositions 'v' and 'na' that says:
        'v' is used for buildings that are situated in the city (teatr)
        'na' is used for buildings situated outside the city (zavod).

        Who knows of any other theories/ articles/ books on the use of these
        prepositions in spatial relations.

        Thanks,
        Carolien
