The Semantics of English Prepositions: Spatial Scenes, Embodied Meaning, and Cognition
Tyler, Andrea (Georgetown University, Washington DC)
Using a cognitive linguistics perspective, this book provides a comprehensive, theoretical analysis of the semantics of English prepositions. The analysis offers an alternative representation of each preposition as well as a constrained set of cognitive principles which systematically account for the many non-spatial senses associated with each preposition.
