The present article aims to shed some light on the combinability of verbs, nouns and adjectives with prepositions - a phenomenon which is common both in Slovene and in English, but has not been extensively commented on by Slovene linguists. In Anglo American linguistics, such combinations with prepositions are basically divided into two groups , which tend to be named differently by authors of different linguistic "ori entations".
