<abstract>We have already proposed a framework to represent a location in terms of both symbolic and numeric aspects. In order to deal with vague linguistic expressions of a location, the representation adopts a potential function mapping a location to its plausibility. This paper proposes classification of Japanese spatial nouns and potential functions corresponding to each class. We focused on a common Japanese spatial expression “X no Y (Y of X)” where X is a reference object and Y is a spatial noun. For example, “tukue no migi (the right of the desk)” denotes a location with reference to the desk. This expression were collected from corpora, and spatial nouns appearing in the Y position were classified into two major classes; designating a part of the reference object and designating a location apart from the reference object . And the latter class were further classified into two subclasses; direction-oriented and distance-oriented. For each class, a potential function were designed for providing meaning of spatial nouns.</abstract>
