In this paper we combine topological and dynamicity analysis with other parameters li
ke
reference frames, animacy, and function, in order to depict the polysemy of two prepositions that
express spatial relationships along the horizontal axis, namely, “opposite” and “in front of”. Our
method consists of manual corpus analysis of 200 example
s of each one of these particles from the
COCA and BNC. The sense of each preposition in context has been classified according to a network
of senses which includes a proto
-
concept, from which other senses are cognitively derived. In addition,
frames of r
eference and degrees of animacy provide semantic contrasts between the prepositions under
analysis. Finally, metaphorical senses can be described as cognitively derived from the previous
parameterized senses, by means of mappings across domains (Lakoff, 19
93). A first approximation to
different senses is based on standard dictionaries. We claim that our analysis provides both native
speakers and foreign learners with a coherent explanation of the polysemy of these items. [-]
