Locale

This frame contains general locale words, and is mostly a place-holder in the hierarchy. Words in this frame designate relatively stable bounded ares of the world which have permanent Relative_locations with respect to other locales, and thus are useful as permanent landmarks. It is inherited by Locale_by_use, which has to do with places that are named according to their intended use, or some habitual use, such as factory.n, dance floor.n, village.n, field.n. It is also inherited by Locale_by_event, which covers places that are names according to some event which took place there, such as concerts, battles, and meteor impacts. This is a pleasant area.
