		Adpositional phrases (or "PPs", consisting of an adpositional head and its complement phrase) are used for a wide range of syntactic and semantic functions, most commonly modification and complementation.
		Adpositions perform many of the same functions as case markings, but adpositions are syntactic elements, while case markings are morphological elements.
		Adpositions are non-inflecting (or "invariant"); i.e., they do not have paradigms of forms (for different tenses, cases, genders, etc.) in the same way as verbs, adjectives, and nouns in the same language.

	Adposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In grammar, an adposition is any of a wide variety of particles and affixes which are attached to a noun phrase (their object) in order to modify the noun phrase or show its relation to another concept or situation in the same clause.
		Adpositions are classified by their placement relative to their object; the most common kinds of adpositions are prepositions, which precede their object, and postpositions, which follow them.
		Adpositions are very often used to form adverbials, particularly in Germanic languages, such as English.

		An adposition is a term in grammar used for a wide variety of particles and affixes which are attached to a noun phrase to modify it or to show its relation to another concept or situation in the same clause.
		There are two types of adpositions which have separate terms depending on how they are positioned relative to the noun phrase: prepositions (before the noun phrase) and postpositions (after the noun phrase).
		Adpositions are very often used to form adverbials, particularly in Germanic languages, like English.

	Adposition - Information at Halfvalue.com
		Adpositions form a heterogeneous class, with fuzzy boundaries that tend to overlap with other categories (like verbs, nouns, and adjectives).
		Adpositions form a closed class of lexical items and cannot be productively derived from words of other categories.
		Adpositions that are ambiguous between directional and static interpretations govern accusative when they are interpreted as directional, and dative when they are interpreted as static.

	Adposition - Wikipedia
		In grammar, an adposition is a word or affix which shows a word's grammatical function.
		The two types of adposition are prepositions and postpositions.

	BOUND CLITIC OBJECTS of INDEPENDENT ADPOSITIONS in SULEIMANYE KURDISH
		While independent adpositions take bound clitics as their objects, the clitic may not always be bound to the adposition of which it is the object.
		If the adposition comes before the verb in the past transitive -- which means it comes after the NP-agent clitic bundle -- and if there is an additional NP before the verb (such as the noun phrase of a compound verb) (note 5), the adposition must come before the NP.
		However, in the present tense the Set II clitic switches from being the agent clitic (as it is in the past tense) to being the object of the adposition, and the Set I clitic switches from being the object of the adposition (as it is in the past tense) to being the agent clitic.

	Preposition - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In grammar, a preposition is a type of adposition, a grammatical particle that establishes a relationship between an object (usually a noun phrase) and some other part of the sentence, often expressing a location in place or time.
		The preposition and its object make up a prepositional phrase, which can be used to modify noun phrases and verb phrases in the manner of adjectives and adverbs.
		In The Philosophy of Language, he states that "[T]here is a fundamental incongruity between the Latin system where the case-distinctions are generally, though not always, expressed in form, and the English system where they are never thus expressed" (178; emphasis original).

		Having that kind of metaphor in the language must undercut the force of the pose as a gesture of defiance, however.
		Adposition is a linguist's blanket or umbrella term for prepositions and postpositions.
		For the true connoisseur, there are " circumpositions," adpositions that bracket their complement fore and aft: "From that time on, he watched every game." Here time is the complement, or object, and from and on form the circumposition.

	Bound Clitic Objects of Independent Adpositions in Suleimaniye Kurdish -- South Asian Language Association, 1988 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I refer to these alternate forms by the term "independent adposition"; though this type of adposition has a bound clitic as its object, the clitic is not always bound to the adposition.
		As will be shown below, the clitic that is the object of the independent adposition could be bound to one of several constituents, and the adposition may appear in one of several positions, depending on the tense and transitivity of the verb, and the presence of other constituents in the sentence.
		If the adposition comes before the verb in the past transitive -- which means it comes after the NP-agent clitic bundle -- and if there is an additional NP before the verb (such as the noun phrase of a compound verb) (note 3), the adposition must come before the NP.

	Silendion - FrathWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In Silendion, adpositions can be placed either postpositionally or prepositionally (ambipositions), but it is more common to see them used as postpositions.
		All or nearly all adpositions in Silendion have meanings that depend on the case taken by their objects.
		With postpositions, however, while the structure in older Silendion was the same, in classical Silendion the inflectional suffixes migrated from the nouns to the adpositions in a shift from independent marking to head marking, with a paragogic vowel after the noun phrase's head noun.

		There are two types of adpositions which have separate terms depending on how they are positioned releative to the noun phrase: prepositions (before the noun phrase) and postpositions (after the noun phrase).
		Many agglutinative languages like Turkish, Finnish and Inuktitut feature adpositions that are affixed to adposition words.
		Because coverbs appear before the noun phrase they modify and essentially function as prepositions and are often referred to as prepositions, even though they are lexically verbs and can in many cases stand alone as the main verb.

		German generally has prepositions, but it also has some adpositions which can be used as pre- and as postpositions.

		In French, we only have the type value preposition; prepositions introduce a noun phrase, and this from a syntactic and semantic point of view.

	IngentaConnect Pronominal Adverbs Containing Adpositions of Direction in Dutch: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		<br />In Dutch, adpositional arguments and adjuncts which are semantically close to the verb easily form pronominal adverbs made up of an adverb like er ‘there’ or daar ‘there’ and an adposition (e.g., erin [there.in], daarop [there.on]).
		Moreover, even though there is a wide range of adpositions that can follow the verb to express direction or place, the choice of the adposition is dependent on the verb meaning.
		The explanatory motivation, it is shown in this paper, is that the adposition (i.e., the second part) of a pronominal adverb of an object of direction or place needs to immediately precede the verbal end group, in accordance with the inherence principle.
