Direction

This FE identifies the Direction from a reference location (generally, the deictic center) of a path to the Figure. This FE is filled by one of a closed class of adverbs: up, down, out (meaning 'beyond the boundary around the viewpoint'), off (meaning 'disconnect between landmark and figure'), back (meaning 'along a line from front to back of landmark, and relatively inaccessible'), and, more rarely, away, along, and dialectally, back down (meaning 'down and behind'). The cat is down on the mat.
