[Lingtyp] complex postpositions

[Anders Holmberg]

Hello Nigel,
In the language described here all prepositions are complex prepositions.

Holmberg, Anders. 2002.  Prepositions and PPs in Zina Kotoko. In B. Schmidt, D. Odden & A. Holmberg (eds.) Some aspects of the grammar of Zina Kotoko. Lincom Europa.

Since the paper is not the easiest to get hold of, I attach it here. I warmly recommend Peter Svenonius's work on adpositions in general, including complex adpositions.

Subject: [Lingtyp] complex postpositions

There is a substantial literature on prepositions and postpositions. There is also a growing body of work on complex prepositions, i.e. things like English 'in front of', French 'au dessous de'. To complete the picture I'd be grateful for pointers to studies and/or examples of complex postpositions.
Thanks in advance
Nigel
