English Prepositions: Their Meanings and Uses Dixon R. M. W.
This book provides an integrated account of the main prepositions of English, outlining their various forms and illustrating contrastive senses. In Part II, each chapter deals with a set of related prepositions, providing an integrated account of the meanings for each, and explaining how these are linked to their grammatical properties. The three chapters in Part I delineate grammatical contexts of occurrence and special uses, exploring grammatical roles, phrasal verbs, and prepositional verbs respectively.
These are followed by seven chapters on prepositions whose basic meaning is spatial, with many extensions to abstract senses, and one that ties together the varied ways through which prepositions deal with time. There are two chapters on relational prepositions - principally of, for, by, and with - which have only minor reference to space or time.
