Prepositions in English and Post positions in Nepali: A Comparative Study

Abstract

The present study is an attempt to point out the similarities and differences between prepositions and postpositions, the grammatical categories of two cognate languages such as English and Nepali respectively. No linguist or grammarian has yet made a comparison between these two grammatical items, which was the gap found in the previous literature. It is mainly focused on finding out a solution to the question like whether there are any similarities or differences between prepositions and postpositions. It has been analyzed by using the contrastive method of analysis and concluded that these grammatical items have some similarities and differences.
