Abstract:

Disparities exist in the way current linguistic research approaches
prepositions, both in terms of definition and classification. Despite an
abundance of publications containing analyses of prepositions, especially
those in the English language, relatively little attention has been devoted to
the preposition ‘for’, despite its high frequency of occurrence in English.

Carried out from a cognitive perspective, and with the aid of Langacker’s
cognitive grammar methodology, this text provides evidence in support of the
thesis that ‘for’ constitutes a category by itself, characterised by a complex
semantic structure that comprises a variety of schemas sanctioning the uses of
‘for’ in the English language. As such, this book will primarily interest
students and teachers that have an interest in cognitive linguistics.
