Expression of the concept of space using cases in Russian Language

Abstract

The place concept has field structure. As in the semantic configuration, the nucleus of “space” is highlighted, and the remaining components can be interpreted as peripherals. The space concept can be distinguished by dative and ablative cases. The dative case in the Russian language assumed through prepositions. After the prepositions “k”, “po”, “blagodarya” the nouns show place meaning. The using of prepositions in ablative case semantically goes to the locative meanings and provides the use of these constructions in this language.
