Abstract

The concepts expressed by spatial prepositions are among our basic cognitive concepts and hence spatial preposition are considered a rich resource of study in cognitive semantics.
In this paper, after a review of the principles of cognitive semantics, some of the definitions of the category of “preposition” in traditional frameworks have been presented and then the cognitive semantic approach towards prepositions has been introduced. Finally the Persian preposition “dar/tooye” has been studied within the cognitive semantic frame.
It is shown that the cognitive approach presents a more illustrative explanation of spatial prepositions, due to its notions of schemata, figure, ground, construal, etc.
