And, as we discussed earlier, those that are locative are likely to have a comma (or dash) between 'place' and 'next' when they are written."

I said ' There is the place next to him' was a very unlikely sentence.

I think the sentence is unlikely because there is no comma (or dash) between 'place' and 'next'.

The second is a very unlikely sentence. We don't normally need to point out a place if we already know that it is next to somebody.

What you are saying it is ok to me and could you please tell me if that is indefinite noun phrase?

We can use a definite noun phrase with 'there' when there means 'in that place'.
There's the book I was looking for! (=In that place is the book I was looking for.)
There's Lucy. (=Lucy is in that place.)

I actually started this question after I read this.
