Abstract

Abstract

The article deals with a comparative analysis of the English and the Russian language items that serve as its approximate translation equivalents. The main attention is on such Russian equivalents of as the prepositional phrases with the instrumental case, with the accusative case, with the accusative case and with the dative case, as well as the prefixes and . The research is undertaken using the Cognitive linguistic framework or, more precisely, the theory of conceptual metaphor. The aim of the article is to analyse the Russian language means of coding the spatial relations that are similar to those expressed by the English and to trace patterns of extension of spatial meanings into non-spatial domains in these languages. The study reveals that although English is an analytic language and Russian is a synthetic (fusional) language and, therefore, they use different means to express meanings, similar conceptual-metaphorical motivations of semantic extensions can be traced in both languages.
