Research into varieties of Englishes around the world has received much
attention from scholars. This book offers a new perspective from a cognitive
inter and intra lexemic analysis of prepositional variations in Malaysian
English and contrasts them with similar prepositions in New Zealand
and British English. Based on corpora data from the three varieties, the
author provides usage types analysis of the prepositions at, in and on.
The analysis exploits cognitive approaches to prepositional polysemy and
gives a motivated account of prepositional variations across varieties. The
book offers a wealth of corpus based linguistic data and explanation to
our understanding of variations in prepositional usage in different varie-
ties of English. The distributional frequencies of various usage types are
provided to illustrate the variation.
