  abstract     = {{The article presents a domain-neutral account of two Swedish prepositions, f & ouml;re 'before' and efter 'after', and discusses some of its theoretical implications. In contrast to a domain-specific approach, which delimits meanings along domain lines, the domain-neutral approach pursues generalisations over domains, aiming to subsume senses in different domains (such as space and time) under a single lexical description. It is argued that this approach has some merits over domain-specific accounts, as it is better equipped to handle certain uses of these prepositions. The study also shows that the behaviour of f & ouml;re and efter has further implications for metaphor theory. In particular, the commonly assumed extension of the Moving Ego and Moving Time metaphors from deictic time to non-deictic time does not work for f & ouml;re and efter, because they lack a consistent spatial orientation that could serve as a model for the temporal domain.}},
