case: case marking

The case relation for Greek is used for prepositions.

A small list of postpositions in fixed expressions are labeled with case. TODO: An alternative analysis would be to label them using the mwe relation.

Certain adverbs may be followed by prepositions. We label these adverbs with the case relation and attach to them the prepositions with a [mwe] relation.

We use the case relation when these adverbs take a clitic in genitive as a complement.

When prepositions are used as subordinate conjunctions to introduce clauses, they are labelled with the mark relation. See mark for more examples.

TODO

Add guidelines on tokenization of στ- preposition+article combinations.
