Perfect Prepositions
Author: Galina Kimber
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780595822560
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
As high frequency words, prepositions are one of the most dynamic parts of speech. Perfect Prepositions shows the meanings and usage of prepositions in Modern English. Used in unstressed syllables and pronounced fast and softly in oral speech, prepositions are often barely distinguishable to the listener. Prepositions can also pose communication problems for English learners and even native speakers. Author Galina Kimber provides general and specific information on the meanings of prepositions as well as ideas on usage as they are applied today. Living languages constantly evolve over time, and reference books like Perfect Prepositions reflect these changes. Perfect Prepositions details different ways of defining the meanings of almost one hundred prepositions written in semantic categories and subcategories that are easy to understand and use in daily life. It's a useful resource for those desiring to improve their communication skills.

English Prepositions Explained
Author: Seth Lindstromberg
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027287899
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This completely revised and expanded edition of English Prepositions Explained (EPE), originally published in 1998, covers approximately 100 simple, compound, and phrasal English prepositions of space and time – with the focus being on short prepositions such as at, by, in, and on. Its target readership includes teachers of ESOL, pre-service translators and interpreters, undergraduates in English linguistics programs, studious advanced learners and users of English, and anyone who is inquisitive about the English language. The overall aim is to explain how and why meaning changes when one preposition is swapped for another in the same context. While retaining most of the structure of the original, this edition says more about more prepositions. It includes many more figures – virtually all new. The exposition draws on recent research, and is substantially founded on evidence from digitalized corpora, including frequency data. EPE gives information and insights that will not be found in dictionaries and grammar handbooks.

Greek Prepositions
Author: Pietro Bortone
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 019157175X
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
This is the most comprehensive history of the Greek prepositional system ever published. It is set within a broad typological context and examines interrelated syntactic, morphological, and semantic change over three millennia. By including, for the first time, Medieval and Modern Greek, Dr Bortone is able to show how the changes in meaning of Greek prepositions follow a clear and recurring pattern of immense theoretical interest. The author opens the book by discussing the relevant background issues concerning the function, meaning, and genesis of adpositions and cases. He then traces the development of prepositions and case markers in ancient Greek (Homeric and classical, with insights from Linear B and reconstructed Indo-European); Hellenistic Greek, which he examines mainly on the basis of Biblical Greek; Medieval Greek, the least studied but most revealing phase; and Modern Greek, in which he also considers the influence of the learned tradition and neighbouring languages. Written in an accessible and non-specialist style, this book will interest classical philologists, as well as historical linguists and theoretical linguists.

Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament
Author: Murray J. Harris
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310531055
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Prepositions are important in the exegesis of the Greek New Testament, but they are at the same time very slippery words because they can have so many nuances. While Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament rejects the idea of a “theology of the prepositions,” it is a study of the numerous places in the Greek New Testament where prepositions contribute to the theological meaning of the text. Offered in the hope that it might encourage close study of the Greek text of the New Testament, its many features include the following: Coverage of all 17 “proper” and 42 “improper” prepositions Explores both literary and broader theological contexts Greek font—not transliteration—used throughout Comprehensive indexes to hundreds of verses, subjects, and Greek words Discussion of key repeated phrases that use a particular preposition
