Perfect Prepositions


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


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.
