face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt'>In many
languages, the same form may fulfil the functions of adposition (preposition or
postposition) and subordinator. My main interest lays in the cases where the
adposition was reanalyzed as a subordinator. Nevertheless, I am still interested
in the cases where the subordinator would be at the source of an adposition, as
well as cases where both functions derive from another source.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

series of questions. I would be very happy and thankful if you could answer them
in case you know such homonymies in your favourite languages of the wide world.
