This paper delves into the semantic analysis of phrasal verbs with the particle “up” in Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. Phrasal verbs, known for their versatility, are a key feature of the English language. This study explores both their literal and figurative meanings, as well as their polysemous nature, offering insight into how Defoe skillfully uses these expressions to enhance the narrative. By analyzing selected examples from the novel, the paper highlights the multifaceted nature of “up” particle phrasal verbs, revealing how they convey ideas of completion, direction, emphasis, and multiple meanings in different contexts. The research not only examines the linguistic function of these expressions but also underscores their significance in enriching the thematic depth of the text. Ultimately, this study contributes to the broader understanding of language use in literary works, focusing on the nuanced role of phrasal verbs in Robinson Crusoe.
