Abstract
The objects of study in this paper are selected English expressions with the simple topological prepositions in and at expressed in the following Slavic languages: Polish, Czech, Slovene, Serbian and Croatian. Simple locational, topological relations which the English language encodes through two separate prepositions in and at tend to be constructed by a single form in many Slavic languages. The concerns of the paper are selected English constructions expressing physical coincidence through in and functional coincidence through at, rendered into the five Slavic languages, where the scenes may not include the difference in dimensionality existing in the source expressions, which causes many translational problems.
V razpravi so analizirane izbrane zgradbe značilnih angleških predlogov in ter at, ki so navzoči v slovanskih jezikih, kot so poljščina, češčina, slovenščina, srbščina oziroma hrvaščina. Običajni odnosi, ki se v angleškem jeziku določajo z dvema predlogoma: (1) in, npr. be in the/a restaurant, (2) at, npr. be at the restaurant, so v posameznih slovanskih jezikih izraženi z eno obliko. Nerazlikovanje mesta teh predlogov pri prevodu iz angleščine lahko povzroča težave pri prevajanju v slovanske jezike.
