Specific characters of spatial schematization in contexts with the meaning of support in the Norwegian, Icelandic and Russian languages (on the material of Russian spatial prepositions <i>в </i>and<i> на </i>and their Scandinavian equivalents)
The article describes a range of space schematization features in Russian and Scandinavian languages as exemplified by space prepositions <i>в</i> and <i>на</i> and their Scandinavian equivalents (<i>i</i> and <i>på</i> in Norwegian and <i>í</i> and <i>á</i> in Icelandic). Spatial meaning is analyzed in static constructions that express the most general relation between a preposition and locum, in theme groups with a meaning of support that illustrate schematization process action. In description of prepositions a complex approach combining cognitive and intralinguistic ways of research is used.
