对不相关或远亲语言的跨语言比较往往因不同语言的正式剧目之间缺乏一一对应而受阻。这篇文章提出了这样一种情况的一个例子，其中爱尔兰语和意大利语介词库存的比较是不可能的，在正式的基础上，由于两套形式的不同大小和空间-内容连续体的不同语义分割，即，事实上，同一种形式可以以跨语言的方式表达不同的概念，但并不总是有效的，相反，同一个概念在一种语言中可以用一种以上的语言形式表达，而在另一种语言中只能用一种语言形式表达。随后阐述了一种可能的方法来解决这个问题的情况下，在概念上，而不是正式的比较的基础上。比较的目的点，也就是说，发现模式的隐喻意义的扩展域中的爱尔兰语和意大利语介词，也解释了。
Cross-linguistic comparison of unrelated or distantly related languages is often hindered by the lack of a one-to-one correspondence between the formal repertoires of the different languages. This article presents an example of such a situation, where the comparison of the Irish and Italian prepositional inventories is made impossible, on a formal basis, by the different sizes of the two sets of forms and the different semantic segmentation of the spatial-content continuum, i.e., the fact that one and the same form can express different concepts in a way that is cross-linguistically not always valid, and – conversely – that one and the same concept may be expressed by more than one linguistic form in a language and by just one in the other. A possible way of tackling this problem for the case at hand, based on a conceptual rather than formal comparison, is subsequently expounded. The aims of the comparison in point, that is, finding patterns of metaphorical sense extensions in the domain of Irish and Italian prepositions, are also explained.
