THE METHODOLOGY OF SEMEMIC ANALYSIS WITH SPECIAL APPLICATION TO THE ENGLISH PREPOSITION,

Abstract

In the past two decades, a number of linguistic theories have been developed in the field of linguistics whose primary purpose is to give a formalized method of handling linguistic data. i.e., natural language. The stratificational theory of S. M. Lamb is described, with emphasis on sememic analysis and gives in detail a sememic analysis of the major prepositions in the English language. Some conclusions are given about the linguistic environment of the individual prepositions. (Author)
