The preposition "in" may have, in English, several values, as follows:

Value UNL Examples
English UNL
complement (necessary argument) obj interested in Math obj(interested, Math)
time (when?) tim work in 1973 tim(work, 1973)
physical place (where?) plc work in Switzerland plc(work, Switzerland)
logical place (in what?) scn work in the project scn(work, project)
affected place opl hit in the face opl(hit, face)
manner (how) man split in two man(split, 2)
attribute (which) mod a man in overcoat mod(man, overcoat.@in)
final state (= into) gol throw in the basket gol(throw, basket)

Observations

@in

Except for the relation "mod", the attribute @in is the default and therefore optional: work in Switzerland = plc(work, Switzerland) = plc(work, Switzerland.@in)
