Abstract

The study is focused on prepositional constructions expressing spatial relations in the Resian microlanguage. Usually compound prepositions have two or three components based on simple prepositions (-w, -na, etc.), with an adverbial particle ta-/tu-/to- as the first component. The paper attempts to clarify the choice of the particles. The materials used are the works of Baudouin de Courtenay on the Resian dialect, historical and modern Resian texts, evidence of a native speaker informant. The result of the analysis shows that the choice of particles can be determined by phonetic and semantic motives.
