Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on theoretical problems in the usage of prepositions, formulation of the definition of prepositions, their etymology, as well as identification of the criteria for qualifying lexemes as either syncategorematic or content words (prepositions or their equivalents). Using such prepositions as vsled (“behind”), navstrechu (“towards”), and vdali (“away”) in A.S. Pushkin’s language, the early development of the grammatical system of the modern Russian standard language is reconstructed.
