Abstract

Prepositions are the unnoticed and underappreciated workhorses of language. They are “grammar words” that indicate relationships. Essentially, their job is to connect other words with bigger and more important meanings. Because their meanings are fairly general, prepositions rarely change, and they rarely move from one language to another.
