Our previous study on disambiguating the preposition “with” (using WordNet for hypernym and meronym relations, LCS for verb and preposition lexical information, and features of head and complement) looked promising enough to warrant study for other prepositions. Through investigation of ten frequently used prepositions, this paper describes general senses of prepositions and sense-case definiti...

Concepts of containment, support, and degree of fit were investigated using nonverbal, preferential-looking tasks with 9- to 14-month-old infants and adults who were fluent in either English or Korean. Two contrasts were tested: tight containment vs. loose support (grammaticized as 'in' and 'on' in English by spatial prepositions and 'kkita' and 'nohta' in Korean by spatial verbs) and tight con...

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of picture-based vs. context-base method onIranian intermediate EFL learners' knowledge of prepositions. The main question this study triedto answer were whether using picture-based vs. context-based method might enhance higherknowledge of prepositions in Iranian learners of English at intermediate level. To answer thequestions, 45 intermediate ...

PrepLex is a lexicon of French prepositions which provides all the syntactic information needed for parsing. It was built by comparing and merging several authoritative lexical sources. This lexicon also includes information about the prepositions or classes of prepositions that appear in French verb subcategorization frames. This resource has been developed as a first step in making current Fr...

Chinese prepositions play an important role in sentence reordering, especially in patent texts. In this paper, a rule-based model is proposed to deal with the long distance reordering of sentences with special prepositions. We firstly identify the prepositions and their syntax levels. After that, sentences are parsed and transformed to be much closer to English word order with reordering rules....

This paper summarizes stratificational theory, and applies its linguistic methods in a sememic analysis of English prepositions. The phenomenon of interlocking diversification is shown to be quite generally present among the prepositions. Also, the analysis of prepositions is shown to entail a partial sememic analysis of other words; it therefore provides a starting point for the sememic analys...

Prepositions remain challenging for learners of English as a foreign language. Linguistically speaking, prepositions are part grammar and frequently used in listening, reading, writing. Thus, this research investigated the mastery undergraduate accounting program students batch 2021 at private university Yogyakarta. The data quantitative were collected through close-ended questionnaire using Go...

In this note we discuss a couple of Dutch prepositions that systematically combine with a common noun phrase, without any determiner. We explore whether we can analyze these prepositions as having ‘incorporated’ a determiner, semantically speaking, and discuss the consequences of this analysis for the status of bare nominals, the demarcation of syntactic and semantic categories, and the relatio...
