A comparative view of Czech and English prepositions signifying place and time
VACHOVÁ, Martina
This thesis explores the meaning and distribution of spatiotemporal preposition in English in comparison with the Czech prepositions of the same kind. The main part of this work focuses on the usage of the preposition at that,next to on and in, is used to express both temporal and spatial ideas (e.g., at the corner, at 7:30). Investigating the meanings associated with the spatiotemporal particle at used in the gathered material may bring fundamental insights into the relation between language, mental representation and human experience. The thesis aims to identify as large amount of sequences as possible with prepositional function of at, as both languages use different ways of interpreting the usage of the preposition. Whether the English and Czech spatial and temporal usage of the at-phrase is distinct from one another in meaning and distribution; it will be discussed at greater length in the presented collection of examples.
