This dissertation uses a cognitive linguistic framework to establish a concise, systematic description of prototypes for prefixes and prepositions in Russian and Czech, and evaluates the nature of the relationship among the various senses of prefixes. The research presented here is aimed at carefully establishing the spatial meaning of prefixes. The primary motive for this research, however, is to evaluate the nature of the relation between spatial uses and abstract uses and to determine if abstract uses do indeed involve primarily spatial metaphor. A significant portion of the dissertation, therefore, is devoted to a discussion of the connection between spatial and abstract prefixation. A secondary purpose is to compare the spatial and abstract uses of prefixes in Czech and Russian, and to see whether differences in the verbal systems of these two languages can be correlated with underlying semantic differences at the spatial level. 517 $aExperience of Space 606 $aCzech language$xSemantics 606 $aCzech language$xSuffixes and prefixes 606 $aRussian language$xSemantics 615 0$aCzech language$xSemantics. 615 0$aCzech language$xSuffixes and prefixes. 615 0$aRussian language$xSemantics. 676 $a398.99186 700 $aShull$b Sarah $01346191 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910720503503321 996 $aThe experience of space$93072814 997 $aUNINA
