Direction is encoded along at least two different different parameters - how it is referentially related and what part of speech it is realised as. There exists projective direction, which is measured relative to a reference, as well as absolute direction. The absolute directions is mostly in the vertical space (up and down), and is of course in reality also simply projective directions with a very, very large reference object (Earth).
As part of speech direction is usually encoded in one of three different ways in Norwegian: as a verb, as a preposition or as a combination of these. Here are some examples of how direction is encoded in Norwegian:
Towards referential object:
mot
komme
Away from referential object:
gå
dra/fare
fra
Up
opp
stige
Down
ned
synke
