Abstract:

This monograph is concerned with prepositional elements in Slavic languages,
prepositions, verbal prefixes and functional elements of prepositional nature.
It argues that verbal prefixes are incorporated prepositions projecting their
argument structure in the complement of the verbal root and that their meaning
is based on the two-argument meaning of prepositions, enriched with the CAUSE
operator. The book investigates idiomaticity in the realm of prefixed verbs
and proposes a novel analysis of non-compositional prefixed verbs based on the
operation of predicate transfer. It also offers a uniform analysis of cases.
Prepositional as well as non-prepositional cases are treated as a reflection
of the agreement operation, whereat the type of prepositional case is
determined by semantic properties of the decomposed preposition. Furthermore,
it examines prepositions from a diachronic perspective and argues that they
can be grammaticalised as future markers under certain circumstances.
