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.
