Abstract

Equipping a linguist with effective analytical tools for contrastive analyses, cognitive methodologies provide access to subtle details of schematic representations in the languages compared, facilitating a deeper insight into the structures of languages at the conceptualization level. This paper presents the cognitive value of the contrastive analyses conducted in the vein of R. Langackerʼs Cognitive Grammar and with reference to the image schema theory, and their contribution to a more multifaceted description of the English preposition for and some of its Polish equivalents. Cognitive analyses allow for identifying the path image schema as the most abstract schema that structures the semantic content of for, and the transformations of which sanction the choice of particular Polish prepositions as its equivalents.
