Abstract

The research objective includes developing a multi-level typology of the Russian, English and German prepositions with a view to identify motives for their non-standard use in the languages under study. The author summarizes results of studying the prepositions, proposes a universal typology of the prepositions (conventionally stressed, conversional, derivative, copulative, complementary), which constitutes scientific originality of the paper. The conducted analysis allows identifying isomorphic, allomorphic and endomorphic features of prepositions in the analyzed languages. Following the open taxonomy principle, the researcher distinguishes nine groups of prepositions which are then subdivided into levels and classified into forty two subgroups.
