Argues that the explanation of the use of "ser" and "estar" with locatives presented in the March 1984 issue of "Hispania" derives so directly from a theory of universal grammar because it is indicative of the explanatory adequacy of Case Grammar or of other, comparable theories of the deeper levels of linguistic structure.

An analytic sketch of motion/location in more primitive spatio-temporal terms is presented. The earlier account (ED 096 825), showing various languages' most characteristic pattern for deriving a putatively-universal underlying representation of motion and location, is continued.

Di Pietro, Robert J. – Working Papers in Linguistics, 1971
The distinction between artifact and tool is introduced into the study of language diversity and the posting of linguistic universals.

Analogy and metaphor are considered as two major creative forces at work in all languages.…
