ADP: adposition

Definition

ADP is used for adpositions, i.e., prepositions and postpositions (many Uralic languages won’t make strict distinctions). Adpositions have nominal complements that can be identified by the cases, or the complement may be encoded by a possessive suffix on the adposition itself. ADP can be separated from ADV by lack of complement or if the complement is verb or a clause.

Adpositions are often derived from defective or historic nominal paradigms, the tagging should follow modern diachronic analysis instead of etymological.
