Abstract
Th e concept of IMMEDIACY can refer to a relationship of spatial or temporal character. From the temporal point of view, it is the expression of a very close posteriority of an event. It is hard to identify precisely the entities that express the temporal immediacy. Dictionaries very oft en do not diff erentiate the uses referring to either type of immediacy. In this paper the proposed classifi cation is based on the the theory of classes of objects and all kinds of possible contexts in which the adjectives are used are studied. Th e paper discusses the semantic and syntactic properties of two Spanish adjectives: inmediato and inminente, following a previous analysis of the adjectives próximo and cercano. Th e adjective immediato has both temporal and spatial uses. In its temporal uses it indicates a relationship between two abstract elements. Whenever its second argument position is not saturated, it refers directly to the reported moment or an event happening in the reported moment. Some of the uses indicate anteriority. Th e adjective inminente lacks spatial uses its polysemy is far less complex. Th e final results of the analysis can contribute to better understand work these adjectives. They could also be incorporated in machine translation systems.
