number of prepositions in Russian

[J.W.]

Ottawa, Thursday 26/5/11 14h55 EDT

A good overview of 60+ prepositions outlined by case governed is given in
Chapter 9 of Derek Offord's *Using Russian* (Cambridge: Cambridge University
Press, 1996).  The chapter also includes sections on prepositions based on
nouns, use of prepositions (again, by case) with preceding verbs, and the
rendering of English prepositions into Russian.  I must say I have found
Offord's book in general to be one of the best sources on Russian
contemporary usage.
