Cognitive complexity and complexity of linguistic structure have been found to influence the order of acquuisition of locatives. In Warlpiri, locative case marker on the reference object; directional affixes may be added to them. Data from a series of tests of Warlpiri children's translated as 'in', 'on', 'under', 'in front of', 'behind' and 'between' indicate that the locative case froms are used first without the more specific locative nominals; young children distinguish an 'up-down' dimension but not 'in', and the reference object influences how the locative term is interpreted; kamparru-pirdangirli ('front-behind') is not one dimension for children aged four to five years; kulkurru 'between' is understood before kamparru 'front' and pirdangirli 'behind'; the use of features on a reference object for orientation develops at around six, but the orientation of the reference object, as well as features on the placed may affect interpretation.
