PREPOSITION AS A MEANS TO REFLECT THE CATEGORY OF SPACE IN THE LANGUAGE (BASED ON SPANISH)

The article explores the role of prepositions in expressing spatial relations in Spanish including physical and linguistic space relationship. The article presents the arguments in favour of the idea that the preposition is the main means to reflect the category of space in the language since the semantics of spatial prepositions contains information about objects localization: the Spanish prepositions are able to indicate the direction from the start point and to the given point, the final point of movement, the trajectory of movement as well as the object location. The article pays particular attention to the relationship between the use of spatial prepositions and the situation in which the subject is involved. Thus, the objects that exist in reality can be interpreted by a person in different ways. I argue that this fact plays a key role in choosing a preposition, in some cases a preposition with uncharacteristic semantics, to describe a particular situation. It was found that, in order to express the dynamic spatial relations, in some cases, due to the peculiarities of human perception of reality it is necessary to use a static spatial preposition, and vice versa, when transmitting the static spatial relations, sometimes the dynamic spatial prepositions are used...

Geodynamic and structural factors of porphyritic objects localization in Sikhote-Alin

Ore bearing porphyritic systems of Sikhote-Alin form linear zones in Cretaceous volcanic belt. They are limited to zones of tectonic disturbances at Moho depths of 19-25 mi (30-40 km). Pacific slab lies at around 340 miles (548 km) below the volcanic belt, which matches the slab depth of porphyritic deposits formation belts in the Andes and Indonesia-Tonga region. Formation of porphyry copper systems is linked to the processes of metalliferous fluids intrusion at slab destruction areas near asthenosphere.
