Functional and semantic dimensions of prepositions

A study in structure and semantics

Abstract

This research revolved around prepositions in composition; In an effort to discover its features, discuss its provisions, and clarify its relationships that govern it with its income at one time and with its attachment at another, and to conclude the dimensions of its semantic presence in the composition, its impact and value; In the hope of reaching from all this to a comprehensive picture of its functional and semantic dimensions in the structure, and accordingly we divided the study into two sections, each of which included five demands, the first: looking at its functional dimensions, and the second in its semantic dimensions, preceded by an introduction, and followed by a conclusion that included a disclosure of the most prominent The ideas and results that emerged from the research, including:
That the idiomatic multiplicity of prepositions is not an intellectual richness nor a reflection of the grammatical controversy as some might think, but rather an order imposed by the capacity of the characteristics of these functional and semantic letters in the structure, so that it was impossible for the grammarians to adjust them under one term that fulfills the reference to them all, even to the sentence, and then we saw Each term came to reveal special dimensions of its structural characteristics that the other term does not reveal.
The neighbor and the accusative are a synthetic phenomenon that has its own independent expressive specificity and is completely different from the characteristics of the accusative objects. Which necessitates that it not be carried on it under the influence of the idea of grammatical work in order to seek it from a place of parsing; Because this refers the issue to the issue of a worker and an agent, without regard to the functional and semantic differences between the two phenomena.
The grammarians used the help of their study of these letters and their tracking of their characteristics with the features of their entry (the dative noun), as this helped them to limit them and then divide them and adjust their provisions and meanings, on both levels: descriptive inductive, and applied analytical from that study.
The relationship between the preposition and related is one of the relations that cannot be set as a result of its difference in placement and use, which made the function of the letter with it multiply between: linguistic correctness at times, and strengthening the verb to reach another required, and allocating it to the meaning intended from it if it is not defined except by the letter in a third, and empowerment The speaker is able to communicate what he wants according to the relations that he establishes between them.
That these letters may constitute the focus of the semantic formation in the composition, so that you find the line of ascension, spread, regression, contrast, or paradox in the semantic referring in its most prominent aspects to it among the elements that embrace it in the composition, and this is achieved with it either by deletion, or by inclusion, or The multiplicity of possibilities in connection, or the contextual paradox in the letter, or the general meaning common to more than one letter.
Inclusion in the prepositional preposition is a process of attracting and recalling the meanings with which the embedded verb opens up to the context, because the presence of the preposition with a verb that is not usually infringing upon it, or its presence with an act that would transgress itself, or its absence with an act that requires it; All of this constitutes a process of recalling the elements that can be included with the aforementioned verb to the extent that they may not stop at a specific element.
