Abstract: In this paper the meanings of particles in and out, and up and down, will be analyzed. The phrasal verbs analyzed belong to the fields of hotel business and tourism. In and out are used when speaking of a bounded landmark. This bounded landmark would be a three-dimensional object, a container such as a box or a room. Up and down are particles whose concept involves the orientation of a trajector in reference to a landmark in a vertical axis. Although the analysis of phrasal verbs are made with verbs of a specific field, the conclusions of this analysis are transferable to other fields and general English. The knowledge of the polysemic network of these particles, places English translators and students in a position closer to an English native speaker when interpreting their meanings.In this paper the meanings of particles in and out, and up and down, will be analyzed.
