[Lingtyp] semantics of prepositions

[Nigel Vincent]

Dear Sergey,
A survey such as Claude Hagège Adpositions (OUP, 2010) will have a lot of relevant information about the semantics. On a specific language, see Bob Dixon English Prepositions. Their Meanings and Uses (OUP, 2021). For a particular type of adpositional structure, there is plenty of valuable data and analyses in Benjamin Fagard et al (eds) Complex Adpositions in European Languages (De Gruyter 2020).

Dear all,



Can you please suggest to me a good study of the kinds of meanings that can be encoded by prepositions (postpositions, circumpositions) cross-language (such as spatial, temporal or cause-and-effect relationships)?



Best wishes,



Sergey
