In Aguiar (2018), from a corpus of Latin predicates in which there is incorporation of prepositions as prefixes, it was pointed out that these prepositions, which head spatial expressions, select the arguments of the analyzed structures. In this article, we return to this analysis and seek to expand it, taking into consideration the proposals found in Acedo-Matellán (2016). Here we argue that, in Latin, the predicates whose verbs are composed of a root and a preposition incorporated as a prefix have a compositional semantics; and that such prepositions contribute to its regular meaning, found in other contexts.
