Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, University of Hannover, language: English, abstract: In order to figure out multiple senses and the specific semantic network of the target prefix post-, this study will employ an approach combining the field of cognitive and synchronic corpus linguistics. Chapter two will start by defining the word-formation pattern of prefixation and chapter three continues to explain Hans-Jörg Schmid’s approach to Cognitive Linguistics and how they apply to this study. Chapter four will provide information about corpus linguistics, and concludes by depicting the history of the British National Corpus, which was chosen for data sampling as it provides the original source category as well as the tokens. The following chapter five will list the limitations and define the importance of this study. In chapter six, the analysis will be conducted. It will be structured into subchapters, according to the different text categories which are given in the BNC, and conclude with a comparison of the results in order to find out if the prefix displays any varying meanings and if so how they are depicted. A final outlook will be given in the last chapter, adding possible subsequent ideas on how this study could be continued.
