Mylnikov who read through the manuscript and made valuable remarks and suggestions as to the contents and the structure of this book. I wish to thank my husband, John Evans Kimber, for reading the draft and helping me identify and address some of the shortcomings, even if I did not always accept all of advice that came my way. v 1 THE STRUCTURE OF THE BOOK The book consists of several sections. The introductory part explains the reasons for writing this book and for whom it is designed. Then it lists objective and sub- jective difficulties the author met with while preparing it and principles of organ- izing the contents as well as for choosing illustrative material. The terms used in the book are explained in the section ‘The Structure of the Definition of the Category.’ The practical part of the book contains the lists of the categories for 99 prepositions and their meanings as well as the examples illustrating them. Our research showed that the most frequently used prepositions in Modern English are the prepositions on, at, by, for, in, of, and with. An Appendix is attached at the end of the last section. Vll V
