Strategic construal of in and out in English PV constructions in Croatian and Czech learners

The central aim of this thesis was to describe the strategic construal (i.e. meaning construal in L2) of in and out in English particle verbs. We investigated the “semantic determination” (Geld 2009) of PVs with in and out, which had been found to be divided into topological and lexical determination. Moreover, the aim was to see to what extent Croatian and Czech learners of English were aware of the symbolic nature of language and specific contributions of grammatical elements in their conceptual structure.
