초록
This study describes possible motivations for the choice of prepositions when the adjective effective is used. Among various prepositions that can be used with effective, this study focuses on three prepositions for, in and at which are the most notoriously confusing, to find generalized principles about their choice. More specifically, we suggest that the preposition for is selected when the goal or beneficiary is regarded to be important. The preposition in is employed when the subject is seen as the only source of effectiveness in a situation of its intense involvement. Lastly, the preposition at is found to be used when the subject is not the only source. In a word, we claim that the choice of the three different prepositions depends on the kind and degree of the involvement of the subject which is being effective.
Abstract
This study describes possible motivations for the choice of prepositions when the adjective effective is used. Among various prepositions that can be used with effective, this study focuses on three prepositions for, in and at which are the most notoriously confusing, to find generalized principles about their choice. More specifically, we suggest that the preposition for is selected when the goal or beneficiary is regarded to be important. The preposition in is employed when the subject is seen as the only source of effectiveness in a situation of its intense involvement. Lastly, the preposition at is found to be used when the subject is not the only source. In a word, we claim that the choice of the three different prepositions depends on the kind and degree of the involvement of the subject which is being effective.
