Abstract
This M.A. thesis deals with the English prepositions over and above and Croatian prepositions nad, iznad and preko. A corpus-based study was conducted by means of finding and analysing 3000 sentences containing prepositions listed above – 600 sentences per each preposition. English sentences containing over and above were later translated into Croatian in order to determine the most frequent Croatian translations for these prepositions. On the other hand, Croatian sentences containing nad, iznad and preko were translated into English so as to examine which English prepositions are their most common counterparts. In the introduction, an overview of the theoretical framework on spatial language is given followed by a brief examination of each of the prepositions. The main part of the thesis is comprised of example sentences containing prepositions over, above, nad, iznad and preko, their translations and analyses that follow after each example. Then, the results of the study are presented in tables and thoroughly examined. Finally, at the very end, there is the list of references.
