p;it’s  normally  the experientially  grounded  spatial  sense,  while  the  other  senses  are  derived  from  this spatial  sense  through  instantiation  or  schematization  process.  The  derivation  of  the new senses is caused by certain motivation, which is some cognitive principles, such as  the  image  schema  and  spatial  metaphor,  etc,  but  the  derivation  process  is unpredictable (Zhang Jinsheng, 2008).

1.2   Significance and Purpose of the Study 
Spatial  concept  can  be  easily  recognized,  while  some  other  abstract  concepts can’t  be  directly  perceived,  so  people  tend  to  apply  the  concrete  concept  to  interpret these abstract concepts. As for preposition, from the cognitive perspective, the spatial sense  of  it  is  considered  to  be  the  first sense  to  be  perceived  by  human  being,  while the other senses of it can be got through the spatial sense.  Having considered the complicated sense system of preposition, English teachers or  learners  take  the  English  preposition  as  a  major  challenge.  During  the  process  of grasping preposition, either the English teachers or the learners may encounter many problems.  First,  there  are  so  many  phrases  concerning  a  preposition,  so  it  is  a  very difficult  task  for  the  learners  to  grasp  all  of  them  if  the  relations  between  the  senses are  not  revealed.  Second,  the  entries  provided  by  dictionaries  about  the  explanations of the senses of preposition are too vague for the learners to grasp, for all the senses of preposition are isolated, it is a very consuming time task for the learners to memorize them  one  by  one.  Third,  the  number  of  the  examples  of  a  preposition  in  the dictionaries is limited, as the result of this the uses of each sense of preposition can’t be fully understood by the learners in all contexts, etc.

Chapter Two   Literature Review  

As  this  study  is  conducted  from  the  cognitive  perspective  to  explore  the  spatial prototypical  sense  and  the  spatial  prototypical  expansion  of  FROM,  the  cognitive studies  concerning  preposition  are  the  main  focus  to  review.  First,  the  different approaches to the studies on e preposition will be presented briefly. Next, the studies on how to determine the spatial prototypical sense of a preposition will be introduced. Finally,  the  studies  on  the  spatial  prototypical  expansion  of  preposition &nbs本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
