This book is based on the research of verbal prefixes
in Slavic languages and Germanic particles carried
out at Tromsø University under supervision of Peter
Svenonius. It offers a comparative analysis of the
syntactic behavior of English particles and Russian
prefixes in prepositional phrases. It concludes that
these elements exhibit a lot of similarities and
occupy the same position in the syntactic structure.
Apart from studying particles and prefixes, this work
also provides a thorough analysis of prepositions
cross-linguistically, focusing mainly on Russian and
English. The research presents extensive data on
Russian prefixed verbs and prepositions which are
further correlated to English particles. It is
written in a clear language and meant for an
audience with some knowledge of linguistics.
