ADP: adposition

The English ADP covers the Penn Treebank RP, and a subset of uses of IN (when not a complementizer or subordinating conjunction) and TO (in old treebanks which used this for to even when used as a preposition).


Treebank Statistics (UD_English)

There are 135 ADP lemmas (1%), 137 ADP types (1%) and 20932 ADP tokens (8%). Out of 17 observed tags, the rank of ADP is: 8 in number of lemmas, 8 in number of types and 5 in number of tokens.
