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 в and на and their Scandinavian equivalents (i and på in Norwegian and í and á 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.
