	Postposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A postposition is a type of adposition, a grammatical particle that expresses some sort of relationship between a noun phrase (its object) and another part of the sentence; an adpositional phrase functions as an adjective or adverb.
		In English, postpositions are much less common than prepositions, which differ in that they precede their objects.
		There is a tendency for languages to be postpositional when the object of the verb precedes the verb in the unmarked sentences (especially the very common SOV order).

	Postposition
		A postposition is a grammatical particle that expresses some sort of relationship between the preceding noun or pronoun (its object) and another part of the sentence; a postpositional phrase functions as an adjective or adverb.
		Postpositions are the equivalents of prepositions in languages where the object precedes the word, such as Japanese.
		English has one postposition: "ago"; however, English also has a tendency to form postpositional compound words, such as "thereafter" and "wherein", a quality likely borrowed from Latin, a fellow prepositional language.

		This paper intends to discuss and explain the distribution of the postposition -ra in Persian-- an enclitic which has evaded satisfactory description despite the considerable attention it has received from both Iranian and non-Iranian linguists and grammarians.
		Traditional grammars have generally described -ra as a marker of definite direct object and more recent linguistic descriptions of Persian have argued that -ra occurs with any NP in simplex clauses except the subject it is a marker of secondary topicalization.
		This paper argues for the postulation of -ra as a marker of secondary topicalaization and explains the superficial occurrences of this postposition with the subjects as instances of a general left dislocation process in Persian.

		In (16a), the locative postposition has been attached to the last word of the Noun phrase in bracktes, the numeral bat 'one', but it is the entire Noun phrase that the postposition takes as its complements, as the bracketed structure indicates.
		Concerning postpositions, the processes that alter slightly the final output of the form involve mostly the merger with the determiner.
		In (20a), the Noun phrase headed by the animate noun alaba 'daughter' is treated as animate in the grammar, that is, the morpheme ga is inserted between the genitive morpheme attached to the Noun phrase and the locative postposition.

	Footnotes
		There seems to be a somewhat universal notion that case is to be understood as consisting of those bound morphemes that do not occur elsewhere in the language, whereas postpositions are independent, non-bound free forms that cannot be attached directly to stems of nouns or pronouns but must follow some case marker.
		Most of the postpositions are, in reality, separate words; and in all the Dravidian dialects, retain traces of their original character as auxiliary nouns.
		The nominative is conspicuous in its lack of ability to take postpositions, whereas the accusative, which may at first glance seem to be unrelated to postpositional usage, actually has a number of de-verbal postpositions such as poola `like', tavira `besides', seettu `together' that cannot be ignored.

	Enveloping Ambipositions in Suleimaniye Kurdish -- SALA, 1985
		Examination of these issues seems to indicate that the differences are lexical, i.e., each NP or preposition-NP combination determines whether or not a postposition is used, and in the case where a postposition is used, which one it will be.
		The primary markers of directional verbs and their directional complements are (1) the prepositions, which introduce the complement, and (2) the postpositions /-a/ (this suffix is probably related to the postposition /-(d)â/) and /-awa/, which are suffixed either to the verb or to the directional complement.
		Directional verbs which have neither a postposition on the verb, nor a preposition introducing the destination, are ungrammatical.

		As this example illustrates, postpositional particles follow the nouns that they mark, and indicate their grammatical roles in the sentence.
		Note that, although the English translation may give the impression that B's utterance is a direct continuation of A's utterance, it is not, because the particle ga cannot follow the quotative particle tte to form a coherent utterance.
		When A has produced the noun yatsu ('stuff'), B comes in with a postpositional particle, no ('of'), and thereby constructs her utterance parasitic on that noun in A's utterance.

		En 1979, le Manuel suisse de révision comptable [22] mentionnait aussi que la postposition était un contrat entre le créancier et le débiteur, alors que, sans autre explication, le Manuel suisse de révision 1992 [23] déclare que la postposition, en tant que déclaration unilatérale des créanciers, est en principe valable.
		La postposition d'une créance que le débiteur a garantie par gage ou qui bénéficie d'un privilège en cas de faillite entraîne la renonciation par le créancier au gage ou au privilège.
		Il est naturellement possible de faire dépendre la postposition de plusieurs conditions, soit alternativement soit cumulativement, et de prévoir notamment que l'abandon de créance interviendra, outre le cas de faillite, en cas de concordat par abandon d'actif ou de dissolution de la société débitrice.

	3 The V2 syntax of Old English.
		For instance, it freely allows postposition of complements and adjuncts, both nominal and prepositional, to the right of the uninflected, VP-final verb.
		[3] This postposition leads to superficially free word order in texts, which misled some traditional scholars (though not all) into thinking that Old English was a ``free word order'' language.
		Recent studies have demonstrated, however, that the apparent freedom of order of the verb in Old English with respect to its complements or adjuncts results almost entirely from the greater freedom of rightward extraposition in that language relative to its modern West Germanic cousins (Kemenade 1987, Pintzuk and Kroch 1989).
