Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from The Preposition : The Relation of Its Meanings Studied in Old French In the work that follows the author purposes to treat the French syntactical development of the preposition from a strictly French point of view - a treatment that up to the present has not been proposed. The method resorted to by grammarians of classifying and explaining syntactical phenomena in a given language by means of a system of parallel examples drawn from other languages is linguistic opportunism, and as such bears upon its face the stamp of arbitrariness. The ad of French territory is essentially a unit of measure and, viewed in this light, falls naturally into two great divisions: I. In expressions where Situation is defined. II. In expressions where direction is marked. A scientific treatment of the use of the preposition in expressions of direction must, however, be accompanied by a more than passing mention of the question of the use of ad and the dative: Part III, then, of this work will be devoted to this discussion. After this the author purposes to present a fourth part where he will endeavor to define the thought-territory occupied exclusively by the preposition , and that shared in common with other French prepositions.
