ADP: adposition

Definition

Adposition is a cover term for prepositions, e.g. üle ‘over’ and postpositions e.g. alla ‘under’, peale ‘on’, both present in Estonian.
Several adpositions can also function as adverbs or verbal particles in particle verbs, e.g. alla andma ‘surrender, lit. ‘give under’, they are tagged as adverbs ADV.
