Contents:

Syntax and Semantics of Spatial P; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Table of contents; Introduction: Syntax and semantics of spatial P; 1. Basic concepts; 2. The syntax of spatial P; 3. The semantics of spatial P; 4. Verb-framed and satellite-framed languages; 5. Paper summaries; References; Part I. The general architecture of spatial PPs; The fine structure of spatial expressions; Projections of P; Priorities in the production of prepositions; The grammar of complex particle phrases in English; Part II. Expressions of directionality.

Summary: The category P belongs to a less studied area in theoretical linguistics, which has only recently attracted considerable attention. This volume brings together pioneering work on adpositions in spatial relations from different theoretical and cross-linguistic perspectives. The common theme in these contributions is the complex semantic and syntactic structure of PPs. Analyses are presented in several different frameworks and approaches, including generative syntax, optimality theoretic semantics and syntax, formal semantics, mathematical modeling, lexical syntax, and pragmatics. Among the lang.
