Relational nouns are a word class class of words used in some languages that is characterized by functioning syntactically as nouns but conveying the meaning of adposition s. Constructions that can be classified as relational nouns are found in many languages, but the concept is usually used within the context of Mesoamerican languages , where the use of relational nouns constitute an Areal linguistics areal feature of the Mesoamerican Linguistic Area . Languages that use relational nouns include the Mayan languages , the Mixe Zoquean languages , the Oto Manguean languages , Turkish language Turkish and others. A relational noun is grammatically speaking a simple noun, but because its meaning describes a spatial or temporal relation rather than a thing , it is used to describe location, movement, and other relations just as prepositions do in the languages that have them. When used the noun is owned by another noun and describes a relation between its owner and a third noun. For example one could say the cup is the table its surface , where its surface is a relational noun denoting the position of something standing on a flat surface. E.g., in Classical Nahuatl Ca pan petlatl in mist n. Be its on mat the cat. The cat is on the mat. Similarly, in Japanese language Japanese Neko wa mushiro no ue ni neteiru. Cat topic mat s top above case marker sleeps lies. The cat is on the mat. Or, in Turkish language Turkish Otelin n nde bir araba var. Hotel s genitive case front on the a car there is. There is a car in front of the hotel.
