Semantics of “on” versus “in”

English
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago
8 0
When talking about locations: "on" means being located on top of a certain surface, and "in" inside another object: Compare on the box and in the box. This is the major difference in their meaning.

They are also used to denote a number of other relationships, such as "in December", "on Friday" but I would say that their usage there is more metaphical and idiomatic: and the major semantic difference is between "inside" and "on top of".

Brainstorm a list of five or six indicators of success for the American Dream. How can you measure whether it's achievable?
Dahasolnce [82]

A stable income

A stable job

Legally owning property

Possibly a family

Good health

I would assume, the best way to measure if it's achievable would be making a graph of various ages and seeing when most people achieve these indicators and how many do it.
