摘要:本文是英语毕业论文,本篇论文在字典帮助下,在语料库出现 FROM 词义被概括。依据 Tyler 和 Evans 确定介词意义的原则,FROM 的空间意义被确定。从概念整合理念出发,对 FROM 的空间原型拓展进行探索。
p;Dictionary of Contemporary English (fourth edition) supplies 20 entries for the meanings of FROM, Collins Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary supplies 16 entries, Longman Dictionary of English language & culture (English-Chinese) supplies 13 entries, New Oxford English- Chinese Dictionary (second edition) supplies 11 entries, and the 21st Century Unabridged English-Chinese Dictionary provides 4 entries. These entries are complementary with each other, while some of them are overlapped. With the help of the entries provided by the dictionaries, there are twelve senses of FROM that can be concluded from the Crown corpus, which have been listed as follows: 1. Indicating the point in space at which a journey, motion, or action starts 2. Indicating the distance between a particular place and another place used as a point of reference 3. Indicating the point in space where you see or hear something. 4. Indicating the source of something or somebody 5. Indicating the logic sense: because of; as a result of; through 6. Indicating the point in time when something starts 7. Indicating one extreme in a scope 8. Indicating a state of separation with regard to 9. Indicating a state of negation 10. Indicating a distinction

Conclusion
As the spatial prototypical sense and the spatial prototypical expansion of FROM have been explored from the cognitive perspective, this chapter will make a summary of the major findings of this study and the implications will be explored too. There are some limitations concerning this study which will also be presented, and the recommendations for the future studies will be proposed according to the limitations. Based on the analyses of the spatial prototypical expansion from the perspective of Conceptual Blending Theory, we can find that the spatial prototypical sense of FROM can be expanded to many target domain senses, which can confirm the assumption of the cognitive studies on preposition that there is a single prototypical sense of a particular preposition, which is usually the spatial sense, and the other senses of it are derived from this prototypical sense. Several major findings can be drawn concerning this study. Firstly, there are 4547 instances of FROM used in the corpus with nearly 30% of them are used as the spatial senses, and more than 70% are used as the metaphorical senses of it, or in other words, the target domain senses of it, so it can be seen that the target domain senses of FROM play a major r
