A contrastive study of in, on and at in Hungarian, Croatian and English
This study investigates the similarities and differences between conceptual and morphological spatial categories, i.e. between mind and language. It is argued that the three languages all share these categories, yet vary in the mutual relations of its members. It is expected that speakers’ spatial conceptualization has been altered due to globalization, and therefore more similar across languages than morphology, which tends to change more slowly than the former. Thus, this thesis questions the Sapir-Whorf theory of human conceptualization being formed by language, and looks to prove that this theory should be tentatively used due to the external factors invading the mind-and-language relation.
