EBOOK Prepositions and Particles in English A Discourse-Functional Account
Opis
O'Dowd offers a new, discourse-functional account of the categories "e;prepositon"e; and "e;particle"e; in English. She explains why certain words have membership in both categories, and solves many intriguing puzzles long associated with the syntax and semantics of these words. Based on linguistic data from a series of actual conversations, O'Down provides new insights into how prepositions and particles are used, and how their meanings can change across different discourse contexts or over time.
