The growing interest in prepositions is reflected by this impressive collection of papers from leading scholars of various fields. The selected contributions of Prepositions in their Syntactic, Semantic and Pragmatic Context focus on the local and temporal semantics of prepositions in relation to their context, too. Following an introduction which puts this new approach into a thematical and historical perspective, the volume presents fifteen studies in the following areas: The semantics of space dynamics (mainly on French prepositions); Language acquisition (aphasia and code-switching); Artificial intelligence (mainly of English prepositions); Specific languages: Hebrew (from a number of perspectives - syntax, semiotics, and sociolinguistic impact on morphology), Maltese, the Melanesian English-based Creole Bislama, and Biblical translations into Judeo-Greek.
Table of contents:
- Preface
- Instability and the theory of semantic forms
- Schematics and motifs in the semantics of prepositions
- The theoretical status of prepositions
- Temporal semantics of prepositions in context
- Prepositions and context
- Prepositional phrases as noun modifiers in contemporary Hebrew
- The Hebrew prepositions mi-/min ‘from, of’
- A contrastive analysis of French and Hebrew prepositions
- A language in change
- The French preposition in contact with Hebrew
- ‘Preposition’ as functor
- Prepositions in modern Judeo-Greek (JG) Biblical translations
- Quddiem and some remarks on grammatical aspects of Maltese prepositions
