Abstract

Cognitive linguistics brought about changes starting from reshaping o ur approach to metaphors. Our bodily experience in space serves as the bas is for the majority of metaphorical expressions and the present article focuses on some of the Engl ish, Romanian and Hungarian prepositions/verbal prefixes, such as over, peste, túl, végig . Their basic m eaning(s) can be more easily understood resorting to basic spatial relat ionships, such as up, down, beyond a certain point. The conclusion presents various levels of metaphorisation and further possibilities regarding spatial exploration of metaphors.
