项目摘要

The frequency of the senses of the prepositions AT, FOR, IN, ON, and TO were determined based on a random selection of sentences in six subsections (Academic, Fiction, Magazines, Newspapers, Spoken, TV/Movies) of the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). Measures to determine Japanese students' knowledge of the target prepositional senses were piloted with three classes (32 participants). Based on a review of the relevant literature and preliminary results of the research, I wrote and submitted three entries for the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Cognitive Linguistics. These articles, currently under review, included an article (4,289 words) on the semantics of prepositions based on the Cognitive Linguistic framework. The article reviews key approaches adopted in the last four decades and also discusses outstanding issues. Another article (3,411 words) dealt with force dynamics, a theoretical framework often employed when accounting for prepositional meaning. The third article (4,435 words) discussed pedagogical applications of the Cognitive Linguistic framework. Since a key application has been related to the semantics of prepositions, the article discussed this work along with the use of abstract diagrams in instruction materials. My 2022 article "Second Language Acquisition of English Prepositions", which previously appeared in The Bulletin of the Faculty of Humanities, Fuji Women’s University, Vol. 59 (pp. 17-44), was republished in the 55th issue of Collected Articles on English Language by the Ronsetsu Shiryo Hozonkai in Tokyo, Japan.

介词AT、FOR、IN、ON和TO的意义的频率是基于对当代美国英语语料库（COCA）的六个子部分（学术、小说、杂志、报纸、口语、电视/电影）中的句子的随机选择来确定的。三个班（32名参与者）的措施，以确定日本学生的目标介词意义的知识进行了试点。基于对相关文献的回顾和研究的初步结果，我为剑桥认知语言学百科全书撰写并提交了三个条目。这些文章目前正在审查中，其中包括一篇关于基于认知语言学框架的介词语义的文章（4，289字）。本文回顾了过去四十年来采用的主要方法，并讨论了悬而未决的问题。另一篇文章（3，411字）涉及力量动力学，这是一个经常在解释介词意义时使用的理论框架。第三篇文章（4，435字）讨论了认知语言学框架在教学中的应用。由于一个关键的应用已经涉及到介词的语义，本文讨论了这项工作沿着使用的抽象图在教学材料。我2022年的文章“英语介词的第二语言习得”，以前出现在人文学院的公报，富士女子大学，第59卷（pp. 17-44），在日本东京的Ronsetsu Shiryo Hozonkai的第55期《英语语言文章集》中再版。
