''Her kan du ta del i vår reise Jorden '''Rundt'''.''

<phrase>8248</phrase>

In this sentence we have the preposition "round" that has made an adverbial having the meaning "about". This might be so because the preposition "round" signals a located object surrounding the referential object. It might signal in this example that the details are surrounding, and containing the area of the CA. The located object contains the referential object.

In this example we have the adverbial signalling quantity, that is originally a preposition. The located object is not in a specific position in relation to the referential object, and therefore in this example "around 3000 kr" means "the area round 3000 kr". The preposition has made an adverbial having the meaning "approximately".

A third example could be "Gutten gikk rundt huset", meaning "the boy walked around the house". Here the located object is "gutten" and the reference object is "huset". The relation is exteriority.
