International Journal sponsored by the Foundation “Foundations of Language” VO 28 IS 2 SP 285 OP 319 DO https://doi.org/10.1075/sl.28.2.02nes PB John Benjamins SN 0378-4177, AB The notion of image schema has received a great deal of attention in cognitive linguistics. In this paper, image schemas are applied to an analysis of case assignment in Russian temporal adverbials. My focus will be on prepositional phrases headed by v ‘in’ followed by a noun phrase in the accusative or the second locative case. This approach, it is argued, facilitates the formulation of simple generalizations. While the paper focuses on data from a single language, the proposed analysis has wider ramifications for the study of case, since it is argued that that image schema-based analyses have quite general advantages over those couched in terms of distinctive features., UL https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/10.1075/sl.28.2.02nes
