| Description | This paper presents a highly contextualizing approach to the meaning pattern of in. It introduces perspectivization (or vantage point taking) as an important cognitive pragmatic mechanism that accounts for meaning variation of prepositions. In addition, contextualization is included as an important part of the methodology for sense decision. It is hoped that the proposed model can shed light on the connection between cognitive semantics and the cognitive pragmatic principle of relevance. |
