| Description: | An excellent resource for teaching prepositions to English language
learners is Seth Lindstromberg's English Prepositions Explained, 2010 (Revised ed.), published by John Benjamins. It draws on work in metaphor, especially as developed in Lakoff and Johnson's Metaphors We Live By and Lakoff's Women, Fire and Dangerous Things... It is very helpful in explaining both prototypical and other meanings, including how particles/prepositions contribute to the meanings of phrasal/prepositional verbs. |
