Two Types of Prepositions: A New Architecture of Spatial Language: Radical, rigorous, and refreshingly concrete, this book reconceives how English expresses space. Arguing that spatial meaning is generated by clause‑level domain geometry rather than a single uniform PP category, it shows that radial and vectorial operators instantiate two distinct syntactic object types—oblique dependents in the Object Domain and directional predicates selecting direct objects in the Predicate Domain. From this architecture the author derives a compact, testable matrix of predictions (PRP/PSC, pseudo‑passivization, fronting asymmetries, and more), unifies a wide range of diagnostics, and offers clear empirical protocols for evaluation. Essential reading for syntacticians, semanticists, and anyone interested in how form and meaning interact, this manuscript opens a new, falsifiable path through a long‑standing theoretical landscape.
