Dear Wolfgang

As soon as the features I have mentioned disappear canonically, we
would arrive at a 'doubled preposition construction'. <br>

Are you interested in doubled postposition constructions as well?<br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">Hungarian is a case in
point. Here are two
examples from an elementary textbook. <o:p> </o:p></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">az

</span><o:p></o:p><br>
that in.front ART house in.front<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p><br>
‘in front of that house’<span style="">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">e
mögött az oszlop mögött<o:p></o:p><br>
this behind ART column behind<o:p></o:p><br>
‘behind this column’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p>There
is agreement only with demonstratives,
not with attributive adjectives, as with cases, and some sources say
that the agreement of demonstratives with postpositions is optional. I
am sure many other members of this
list know much more about Hungarian than I. But with demonstratives, I
can imagine, it is rather difficult to get a clearly non-referential
context.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
