case: case marking
The dependency type case is used for the adposition in pre- and
postpositional phrases. The head of
an adpositional phrase is the nominal, not the adposition, so as to
analyze adpositional phrases similarly to nominal modifiers without an
adposition. (Such nominal modifiers are frequent in Finnish, as cases
are often used for the same purpose as adpositions.) To the same end,
the type case is used in combination with the type nmod, which is
also used for nominal modifiers when no adposition is present (see
nmod).
