Prepositions are significant in sentences because they are used as markers to join words and phrases into a sentence. Teachers usually teach prepositions by providing students with explanations about the usage of prepositions and then gives examples as illustrations. These examples are often accompanied by vivid pictures. This method, however, does not provide students information on how to analyze the different senses of prepositions. This current study, thus, aims to explore the effectiveness and students' opinions of new pedagogical instructions on ten English prepositions, namely above, among, at, behind, beside, between, in, in front of, on and under. The research design involved a quasi-experimental design adopting pretest-posttest between-group research. Out of 95 students who volunteered to participate in the study, 38 participants were selected. They were divided into two groups for the new cognitive linguistic approach and traditional instructions. Pretest and posttest were used to discover the participants' improvements. The participants' opinions of the cognitive treatment were also investigated. The findings illustrate that the group that was treated with CL-based instructions outperformed the traditional group in the posttest although they gained a comparable mean score in the pretest. Most participants also provided positive responses to the new treatment. The findings suggests that cognitive treatment could be employed to assist students in improving their understanding and retaining the metaphorical meanings of the prepositions.

“…Although this cannot be separated from the notion that cultural cognition distributed across minds in cultural groups plays a key role as a source of identity and metaphorical variation. [48], [49]. Thus, NTKP, in this case, is trying to create a metaphor built from the conventional metaphorical structure of the local community from everyday culture.…”

This research attempts to explain Tetralogy Novel by Ki Padmasusastra (in the future referred to as NTKP) from politeness. This study used qualitative research methods-the data source for the novels by Ki Padmasusastra. Triangulation is used to analyze data. The data analysis technique used a content analysis model. The results and conclusions of the study show that through the narrative, storyline, and character characters. Implicitly or explicitly show human politeness attitudes towards all entities. Community politeness in NTKP is displayed through metaphorical language strategies. The metaphor of politeness in NTKP is influenced by the author's socio-cultural conditions as a Javanese who is thick with Orientalist ethical values. Cultural symbols are attributes used for the calculation and interpretation of strategic language choices. An important implication of the research findings is that human awareness to respect existing entities will build strengths that can guide humans to maintain relationships with all elements. Through NTKP, Ki Padmasusastra emphasizes language politeness, ethics, harmonization, and respect for all.

“…Consequently, language categories are regarded as specific means of nomination (Anderson, 2007;White et al, 2018). It is proven that categories can change from language to language, from culture to culture and can belong to one or to several categories depending on different circumstances (Lakoff & Johnsen, 2003;Talmy, 2007;Sharifan, 2017;Sohrabi, & Pirnajmuddin, 2017). Lakoff and Johnsen (2003, p. 15) state that if the notion of the essence of a category is changed, the notion of the world will also change.…”

The studies devoted to the issues of conceptualisation and categorisation of reality prove that language plays a key role in these two interrelated and interdependent processes. The purpose of the article is to analyse the structure of the conceptual category PERSON and the means of its verbal presentation in the fantasy genre. The data is collected from 85 fantasy novels written by British and American writers within the period from 1997 to 2012. The data includes 5890 nominative units (innovations, phrases, word combinations, sentences) either to name or characterise people of possible worlds presented in fantasy novels. The methods applied in this research are chosen considering the aim, objectives, and data. The contextual analysis, the analysis of definitions provided in the lexicographical sources and fantasy texts, and the morphemic analysis are used to analyse the data collected. According to the results of the research, the conceptual category PERSON has a complex hierarchical structure. Two sub-categoriesthe Name of a Person and the Group of Peopleare determined in the structure of this conceptual category. The sub-category Name of a Person comprises about 63% (3730) of nominative units. Innovations are created by the writers to name or describe people of possible worlds, which comprise 79% (4653) of all the data collected. Peculiar features of fantasy discourse, in general, may be the focus of further research. It is also planned to contribute to online dictionaries devoted to fantasy novels.
