Changing Meanings Due to Particle Use (“In” and “At”)
Changing Meanings Due to Particle Use (“In” and “At”)

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with changing in meanings that happen when a verb is followed by an adverb, a preposition or an adverb and a preposition. The focus is on verbs followed by the prepositions in and at. The meaning of the verbs, when they form a compound with a particle, as many linguists prefer to call prepositions and adverbs, can be transparent, when obvious, semi-transparent, when the context intervenes, and opaque, when a foreigner needs a dictionary to decode it.
