Abstract

The paper describes two groups of secondary prepositions resulting from grammaticalization – prepositionalized accusatives and prepositionalized instrumentals. The research lead to the conclusion that the frequency of a particular group of prepositions is influenced by the degree of desemanticization as well as by the characteristics of the cases themselves – entirety/coherence of the accusative case, and dynamism and sociative features of the instrumental case.

Keywords

grammaticalization; prepositionalized accusative case; prepositionalized instrumental case
