This study pays particular attention to verbs because of its significance in the sentence, resulting in the situation type to which a construction belongs. Because of the nature of Filipino as a Philippine-type language, the description of the syntactic behavior of each semantic type and subtype is focused on the affixes that are commonly attached to the verbs, aside from the semantic roles that these verbs require.</span></span></span></i> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in; margin-top:0in">   </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in; margin-top:0in"> <i><span><span><span>The seventh chapter proposes that the notion of location be construed as a conceptual metaphor in the Filipino language, based on the prevalent use of the grammatical mechanisms that expresse location, particularly the affix </span></span></span></i><span><span><span>-an <i>and the marker </i>sa.</span></span></span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in; margin-top:0in">   </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in; margin-top:0in"> <i><span><span><span>The eighth chapter provides the summary and conclusion of this study.
