Spatial semantics of <i>"сквозь / через </i>+ accusative" constructions (based on the data of the National Russian Language Corpus)
The paper describes and compares spatial meanings conveyed by <i>сквозь (skvoz) </i>+ <i>accusative </i>and <i>через (cherez) </i>+ <i>accusative </i>constructions with motion verbs. Based on National Russian Language Corpus data, the frequency of occurrence of constructions and predicates is given. The statistic data serve as a basis of differentiating spatial semantics and illustrate the similarities and dissimilarities in the usage of both types of preposition and case form combinations.
