This article uses the methodological apparatus of conceptual metaphor and metonymy, as well as cognitive grammar, to analyze the cognitive foundations of the distribution and alternation of the prepositions u ‘in’ and na ‘on’ in Croatian prepositional phrases in which prepositional complements denote means of transport, inhabited places, institutions, various selected locations, and events. The article starts with the assumption that each more specific meaning of these prepositions represents an elaboration of their schematic meanings of intralocality and supralocality.
