Journal Title: Studii şi cercetări filologice - Seria Limbi Străine Aplicate - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue
Abstract
The goal of this paper is to analyze the syntax of spatial preposition in Persian language. This account is pretty novel as it analyzes the Persian prepositional phrases in a unified way, which does not restrict itself to some simple spatial prepositions. Rather, the approach taken accounts for both simple and complex spatial prepositions. Furthermore, there is a clear difference in spatial prepositions between Persian and other languages, like Spanish and English. In this study, some of the nuanced differences between Persian and Spanish, when it comes to spatial prepositions, are offered. Moreover, it goes further than this, by analyzing wh-questions responses in the form of spatial prepositions and shows the ungrammaticality of some of the answers by adhering to the principles stated in this novel approach. In this work, some important features of Persian spatial prepositions are further detailed which shows the rich internal structure of Persian spatial preposition and its flexibility of movement/orientation aspect.
