THEORETICAL PROBLEMS OF THE STUDY OF PREPOSITIONS AND POSTPOSITIONS WITH SPATIAL SEMANTICS IN ENGLISH AND BASHKIR LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article summarizes and reveals the main scientific approaches to the study of the means of expressing spatial relations. One of the most popular units for expressing the category of space in two different structures in English and Bashkir languages are preposition and postposition. The relevance of the undertaken research is due to the fact that despite the available, but rather scanty coverage of this issue in Turkology, it was not specially studied in a comparative plan, namely on the material of the English and Bashkir languages. The problem of studying prepositional and postpositional constructions with spatial semantics in a comparative aspect is poorly understood today. The researchers examine various scientific points of view concerning the expression of spatial relations by prepositions and postpositions. The work has shown that there is a significant amount of research, the subject of which is the semantics of prepositions and postpositions. Many works are devoted to comparing the meanings of several prepositions, postpositions of one or two languages. Spatial prepositions and postpositions are polysemantic, individual semantics of prepositions and postpositions can be compared with the meaning of full-valued words, and these service words can also be compared as antonyms and synonyms without a subordinate name. The prepositions of the English language in comparison with the postpositions of the Bashkir language have practically not been studied and require additional study.
