Feature Domain:

A language is considered to have a distance-oriented system (DOS), if the middle term “refers to a location in medial distance relative to a deictic center”. In languages with a person-oriented system (POS), the middle term “denotes a referent close to the hearer” (cf. Diessel 1999:39).
