Isi artikel

Prepositions are typically polysemous items: they have different, but re- lated senses. According to cognitive semantics, the figurative senses of a preposition are extended from its spatial senses through conceptual metaphors. In a pedagogical context it may be useful to draw learners' attention to those aspects of a preposition's spatial sense that are espe- cially relevant for its metaphorization processes. This article examines possible ways in which cognitive semantic analyses of prepositions could be used to anticipate comprehension problems, and facilitate compre- hension of unfamiliar figurative senses.
