Competition between different adposition construals accounts for many of the alternations that are near-paraphrases, but potentially involve slightly different nuances of meaning (e.g., "talk to someone" vs. "talk with someone"; "angry at someone" vs. "angry with someone").
scenes of emotion and perception (Dirven, 1997;Osmond, 1997;Radden, 1998) provide a compelling case for the construal analysis.
