초록
The purpose of this paper is to analyze various meanings of the English spatial prepositions at, on and in from the cognitive linguistic perspective. The core meanings can be summarized as follows: In [X at Y], at abstracts Y into a point and then coincides the point with X. In [X on Y], on represents that X contacts Y. In [X in Y], in represents that X is included in Y. We further show that the core meanings of these prepositions are temporally and abstractly extended in different contexts. The extended meaning of at includes the temporal coincidence, role and function, activity, and stimulus and response, etc. The extended meaning of on includes temporal contact, dependence, effect, progress, repetition, and membership, etc. The extended meaning of in includes temporal inclusion, containment in an abstract domain, state, activity/employment, and wearing, etc. Arguing that prepositions are polysemous, we propose the semantic network of the prepositions based on Langacker's(1987, 1991, 2000) semantic network model. The main point of this proposal is that the core meanings of these prepositions appear to be systematically extended from a spatial domain to temporal and abstract domains in the networks of meaning
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze various meanings of the English spatial prepositions at, on and in from the cognitive linguistic perspective. The core meanings can be summarized as follows: In [X at Y], at abstracts Y into a point and then coincides the point with X. In [X on Y], on represents that X contacts Y. In [X in Y], in represents that X is included in Y. We further show that the core meanings of these prepositions are temporally and abstractly extended in different contexts. The extended meaning of at includes the temporal coincidence, role and function, activity, and stimulus and response, etc. The extended meaning of on includes temporal contact, dependence, effect, progress, repetition, and membership, etc. The extended meaning of in includes temporal inclusion, containment in an abstract domain, state, activity/employment, and wearing, etc. Arguing that prepositions are polysemous, we propose the semantic network of the prepositions based on Langacker's(1987, 1991, 2000) semantic network model. The main point of this proposal is that the core meanings of these prepositions appear to be systematically extended from a spatial domain to temporal and abstract domains in the networks of meaning
