Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project focuses on the basic lexical relations of English prepositions, which has been studied in the field of cognitive linguistics from its inception. The achievements of the projects can be summarized as follows: First, this project described the polysemous nature of prepositions and basic lexical relations among prepositions in terms of linguistic embodiment. Its results are used for writing the dictionary entries of prepositions in an English Japanese dictionary. Second, this project proposed a corpus-based method to describe the semantic and pragmatic characteristics of prepositions, and then, tried to improve the methodology. Third, by focusing on linguistic embodiment, this project revealed that various types of grammatical and discourse functions are entrenched in a large number of prepositions, which emerge through our body experience.
