This cannot be right. "Oxford" is a name. Oxford is a place. The
former is a name of a location; it is not itself a location. (03)

By 'conceptual location' I think you mean locations specified via
phrases which have contextually dependent meanings. If so, then these
are of course not special kinds of locations -- any more than a
person whose name referred to by a nickname is a special kind of person. (05)
