obl:prep: prepositional pronouns

obl:prep, used for prepositional pronouns, is a UD Irish subtype of the obl relation:

(previously nmod:prep)

16 of the most common Irish simple prepositions can be inflected to mark pronominal objects. These are referred to as pronominal prepositions or prepositional pronouns. We regard these as playing nominal modifier roles instead of prepositional modifier roles.

Examples

agam “at me”; leis “with him”, uainn “from us”

D’inis mé di ‘I told her

Is dóigh leis go bhfuil páirtíocht acu lena chéile `He believes that they have a partnership together’

Níl fhios agam ‘I don’t know’

Note, the label obl:prep is also used for adpositional prepositions also. See below.

Tháinig an féar glas ann ‘The grass became green there


obl:prep in other languages: [ga] [sga]
