Disentangling the construals of the English preposition on is at least useful to understand how senses are conceptualized involving the two elements of the construal configuration, namely trajector and landmark. This study entitled Student Writers’ Categories of Construals and Senses of The English Preposition on: A Cognitive Linguistics Study aims to investigate the categories and senses of the English preposition on used by Indonesian and American student writers in their master’s and doctoral theses and to examine the similarities and differences in their construals and senses of the preposition. This semantics study was framed in the cognitive theory of Tyler and Evans (2003), namely the polysemy of prepositions and the categorizations of construals and senses were based on Brenda (2014). The method used is primarily qualitative and the data were collected from two sources: the Indonesian data were taken from the library of a private university in Jakarta and the American data were directly downloaded from two American websites and they were classified into prepositional phrases and clauses using the concordance software Antconc 3.4.1.0 developed by Anthony (2015). This study indicates that there are more construals and senses found in American master’s and doctoral theses than in Indonesian master’s and doctoral theses. This study also shows there are a number of identical construals and senses apart from the different ones found in those texts. This study reveals that some of the categories used for the English preposition over developed by Brenda (2014) were suitable for preposition on. One of the implications of this study is that there are a number of construals and senses of on that should be taught by English teachers and lecturers because they were not found in the Indonesian student writers’ texts.
