METAPHOR IN PREPOSITION USAGE – ON THE TRANSLATION OF ENGLISH PREPOSITIONS
This paper will eventually claim that what underlies prepositions is metaphor. Through cognitive linguistics we will analyze cases of metaphorical usage in English prepositions. We will show in what way metaphor is responsible for frequent mistakes when translating English prepositions into Bosnian. To prove this we will use two of the basic settings in cognitive linguistics i.e. image-schemas and embodied experience.
