Spatial Meanings of English "In" and Croatian "U"

The aim of this B.A. paper is to explore the English preposition in with its Croatian counterpart u, more specifically their crosslinguistic relation in the context of spatial meanings. Hence, a corpus-based analysis was conducted. The first part of the analysis deals with Englishto-Croatian sentences while the second part has Croatian-to-English translations. The paper consists of an introduction, main part, and conclusion. An overview of the theoretical background is given in the introduction by defining what spatial language is. The main part of the paper consists of examining previous research and literature on spatial meanings of English preposition in and Croatian u as well as analysing sentences which were taken from online corpora and later translated into Croatian and English. The Conclusion gives an overview of observations which resulted from the analysis and suggestions for further research
