Abstract

This paper, argues that the common practice used in traditional Persian grammar books concerning prepositions, and in this special case the preposition /az/, of presenting a long list of meanings with no mention of the relationship among different meanings of each preposition is not adequate. The more adequate way, introduced in this paper, is presenting a family resemblance semantic network, based on a prototype. This method shows the conceptual relations among the senses and therefore refutes the common assumption that the meanings of prepositions are quite arbitrary.
