Summary:Using a cognitive linguistics perspective, this book provides the most comprehensive, theoretical analysis of the semantics of English prepositions available. The analysis offers an innovative 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.
