at the Border of Lexis and Grammar
Prepositions and postpositions, collectively called adpositions, constitute an intriguing grammatical category in linguistics, primarily because of the universality of the patterns of their emergence and the wide range of functions they carry. They develop from syntactic structures involving nouns and verbs and become composite adpositions and further primary adpositions through grammaticalization. These patterns are nearly universally observed even in typologically diverse languages. This study is one of the first attempts to find commonalities and differences in the grammaticalization processes of adpositions in typologically and genealogically diverse languages, specifically: Korean, Japanese, English, Spanish, Chinese, and Thai, from quantitative and qualitative approaches. This study sheds light on the conceptual shifts and morphosyntactic changes of these linguistic forms which are on the border of lexis and grammar.

Seongha Rhee is Professor of Linguistics at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Korea. He received his Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1996. He served his university as the Vice-President of External Affairs (2012-2014), the International Circle of Korean Linguistics (president, 2019-2021), the Linguistic Society of Korea (president, 2013-2014), and the Discourse and Cognitive Linguistic Society of Korea (president, 2009-2011). He (co-)authored Understanding Grammaticalization (2016/1998, Hankook) and World Lexicon of Grammaticalization (2019, CUP). He has published book chapters in Grammaticalization Scenarios: Cross-linguistic Variation and Universal Tendencies (2020, Mouton), The Oxford Handbook of Grammaticalization (2011, OUP), and a few others; and has published a number of research articles in journals, including Nature, Journal of Pragmatics, Language Sciences, Lingua, and Journal of Historical Pragmatics. His primary research interest is to identify cognitive and discursive mechanisms that enable language change from the crosslinguistic and typological perspectives.
