Abstract
Preposition is the core spirit of English language. So it is no exaggeration that the status of English prepositions is relatively high, although the number of them is minor.Both of the usage and meaning of English prepositions are complicated and various, which consequently becomes the difficult points for English learners.Two facts have shown to explain why English prepositions are too complex to acquire: first, each preposition does not have a single meaning;second, it does not exist alone in most instances, but collocate with other words like noun or verb to become fixed used prepositional phrases.
English prepositions can be classified by many criteria. One of the classification is to divide English Prepositions into spatial prepositions and non-spatial prepositions. Spatial prepositions are used to indicate the spatial positions and relationships, say, in,at, on, over, under, through and by,etc, all these prepositions have their original meanings- spatial meanings. This paper is to do research on non-spatial usage that is based on spatial usage and is projected from spatial domains. It can be seen from descriptions and findings of former scholars that,from the perspective of spatial metaphor, the studies of English prepositions like at, on, under are much discussed and the findings are concrete, however,the analysis of by is little. The main task of this thesis is not only to study the background of research, or to have a knowledge of many definitions of academic terms, but also to have a thorough analysis of by from the perspective of spatial metaphor,so as to excavate the influence and function of it towards culture and English learning.
Keywords: English prepositions, by, spatial metaphor, spatial prepositions
英语介词by的空间隐喻视角分析
摘 要
介词的地位在英语中尤为重要,可以说是英语中的“灵魂”。英语中的介词虽然数量上并不多,但其用法和意义都非常之复杂与多样,是英语学习者的难点之一。而介词如此难以的原因,一是大多数介词都有好几种不同的意义;二则是介词不仅仅独自出现,它往往能与多种词类如名词、动词搭配,这使得介词的使用更加的复杂而难以掌握。
