Abstract:

"A Cognitive Perspective on Spatial Prepositions: Intertwining networks" is
devoted to the issue of the relation between language and thought approached
from the perspective of spatial relations encoded by four equivalent spatial
prepositions – English "to", German "zu", Polish "do" and Russian к. Regarding
these prepositions as path-prepositions, the authors show that the
prepositional semantic structures are conceptually grounded in the PATH and
the MOTION-EVENT frames and explain that prepositional senses emerge as a
result of the PATH image schema transformations and metaphorical mappings
related to the EVENT STRUCTURE metaphor. Based on their findings, the authors
show how senso-motoric functioning, life experience, individual knowledge,
imagery and different ways in which people conceptualize the world influence
the relation between language and conceptualization.
