Prefiks od- i njegovi engleski ekvivalenti: Kognitivnolingvistički pristup
The Prefix od- and Its English Equivalents: A Cognitive-linguistic Approach

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe the semantic structure of the Bosnian prefix od- and its English equivalents within the theoretical and methodological framework of cognitive linguistics. The first part of the paper introduces key terms and concepts relevant for understanding word formation and prefixes (particularly focusing on affixation, i.e. prefixation). This part also includes theoretical background of the prototype theory and the theory of conceptual metaphor and metonymy. The second part of the paper is the analysis of the semantic structure of the Bosnian prefix od- and corresponding English counterparts from a cognitive- linguistic perspective. Within this cognitive model, the analysis also includes the sub-meanings of the abovementioned prefixes in addition to meanings discussed.
