Military industrial complex lays Pommy lexicographer low

Why couldn't "up there" or "yonder" be parsed as a noun?  Couldn't "up there" be mentally stored as a shortening of "the place that is up there"?  Similarly for "yonder" = "the place that is yonder" i.e. the atmosphere.  Wouldn't that make it a noun?
