Syntax, 2023
AbstractThe ungrammaticality of prepositional gapping has remained a challenge to the theory of ellipsis since the inception of gapping studies. Given that Russian ambivalent adpositions can be deleted under gapping, the issue becomes even more complicated.

Adpositions and adpositional phrases in a syntactic perspective
2010AbstractThis chapter focuses on the specific features by which adpositions (Adps) distinguish themselves from other strategies used by languages to build syntactic relationships between units in the framework of sentences and clauses. It considers syntactic facts, some of which are the preferred, or even exclusive, domain, of Adps and Adp-phrases.

This book is a collection of articles which deal with adpositions in a variety of languages and from a number of perspectives. Not only does the book cover what is traditionally treated in studies from a European and Semitic orientation – prepositions, but it presents studies on postpositions, too.

AbstractThis pioneering study is based on an analysis of over 200 languages, including African, Amerindian, Australian, Austronesian, Indo-European and Eurasian (Altaic, Caucasian, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Dravidian, Uralic), Papuan, and Sino-Tibetan. Adpositions are an almost universal part of speech.

Adpositions and adpositional phrases
This chapter examines adpositions and adpositional phrases in Dutch. Section 2 begins with the traditional classification of adpositions based on their position relative to their complements (if any): prePs, postPs, circumPs and intransitive Ps. This is followed by a discussion of the modification possibilities and syntactic uses of adpositional ...Broekhuis, Hans, Corver, Norbert

A crosslinguistic survey of the morphological diversity of adpositions and adpositional phrases
2010AbstractNow that a comprehensive characterization of adpositions (Adps) has been given in Chapter 2, this chapter studies them from the morphological point of view, showing the diversity they exhibit in this respect. This will be done in four steps. Section 3.1 first examines the distribution of Adps in the languages of the world, as viewed by various ...

Abstract Parts I and II focused primarily on nouns and noun phrases as the prototypical arguments and verbs as the prototypical predicates. Only in chapter 8 was this perspective opened up somewhat as we considered certain VPs that functioned as arguments and certain nouns that assigned 0-roles.

Since the introduction of the X-bar principles in syntax it is commonly assumed that adpositions are complement-taking heads of PPs. While this treatment is well motivated for many adpositions in many languages, there are some which - in some of their uses - would be better treated as nonhead daughters of verbal or nominal projections.

This monograph explores the grammar of modifier PPs in Japanese, concentrating on their word order. The study argues that (i) modifier PPs are hierarchically arranged and (ii) there is an interesting fine-grained correlation between different PP types and Modal/Aspect functors which indicates that Temporal and Locative appear relatively freely with ...
