简介:The study focuses on the phenomenon of reconceptualization of spatial relations reflected mostly lexically. It is hypothesized that in some cases, different spatial relations can be reconceptualized. It often happens when the situation or event is perceived from different points of view as a complex. The analysis is based on concrete linguistic material,with an emphasis on English phrasal verbs with spatial particles such as dig out, sink down.
