Abstract

Abstract

This paper proposes an explanatory model for the lexical representation of the native speakers’ lexical knowledge of English prepositions. Lexical knowledge of prepositions as relational predicates includes argument structure (trajector-landmark) as in , situation types (position vs state) as in , lexical hierarchies (spatial subdomains) based on semantic primitives, as in , and embodied perceptual parameters configured in four dimensions, namely, geometry, topology, force-dynamics and function (from ). This model is illustrated here by expounding three lexical templates compatible with constructional templates in the , representing the semantic decomposition of English prepositions , and .
