Usage Examples English
  • In linguistics, an inflected preposition is a type of word that occurs in some languages, that corresponds to the combination of a preposition and a personal pronoun.
  • A possible cause for this is that the Yiddish preposition "bei" is defined as at, beside or by. The similar-sounding English preposition "by" has come to encompass these meanings.
  • Much research has been done to determine if sluicing can allow for preposition-stranding in a non-preposition-stranding language.
  • P-stranding in English allows the separation of the preposition from its object.
  • In cases where pied-piping and preposition stranding are interchangeable, both types of constructions are generally considered acceptable by native English speakers.

  • Each preposition is associated with one or more grammatical cases.
  • In Hebrew, there are no distinct prepositional pronouns. If the object of a preposition is a pronoun, the preposition contracts with the object yielding an inflected preposition.
  • In "Dutton World Speedwords" we are given on page 64, §328, the 'indefinite preposition' "iv".
  • Zero preposition refers to the nonstandard omission of a preposition.
  • Though the prototypical preposition is a single word that precedes a noun phrase complement and expresses spatial relations, the category of preposition includes more than this limited notion (see [...]).

  • would follow a preposition (still modifying an entire clause), it needs to be replaced with [...] + preposition or [...] + preposition when the preposition begins with a vowel.
