Adpositions and adpositional phrases
2022Abstract The adpositional system of the Uralic languages reflects the implications and inheritance of SOV word order and the syntactic sphere of inflectional forms. Most Uralic languages only use postpositions or syntactically corresponding relational nouns, whereas the north-western branches, namely Saamic and Finnic, have both ...

Abstract Adpositions are words which typically take a noun phrase as their complement and mark its semantic (e.g. spatial, temporal) or grammatical role within the clause. Although adpositional systems are highly variable and not universal, they often constitute a relatively small word class whose members are usually among the most ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Adpositions are used, universally, to mark the roles of nominal participants in the verbal clause, most commonly indirect object roles. Practically all languages seem to have such markers, which begin their diachronic life as lexical words -- in this case either serial verbs or positional nouns. In many languages, however, adpositions also seem to have
