The book presents a comprehensive study of Russian prepositions,
with a focus on expressing spatial characteristics. It primarily
deals with how metaphorical and metonymical transfers motivate the
use of Russian prepositional phrases, explaining the collocations
of prepositional phrases with verbs as a realisation of a
conceptual metaphor or a metonymy. The author confronts a problem
that is attracting growing attention within present-day
linguistics: the semantics of prepositions and cases. The book
seeks to clarify the conceptual motivations for the use of the
combinations of Russian primary prepositional phrases, as well as
to demonstrate how their spatial meanings are extended into
non-spatial domains. This book incorporates an analysis of a large
number of items, including 30 combinations of primary prepositions
with cases. An original contribution, the book is of interest to
teachers and students studying Slavic languages, and to cognitive
linguists.
