case
: case marking
The case relation for Mandarin Chinese is applied to various particles that mark non-clausal dependents, including the genitive 的 de (1); prepositions (2, 3), including “coverbs” (4); and the valence markers 把 bǎ and 將 jiāng (5) in “BA constructions” (see obl:patient); the comparative 比 bǐ (6); and 被 bèi in “long passive” constructions where the agent is mentioned (7).
Note that 的 de has other grammaticalized functions that require the mark:rel relation instead.
Postpositions, also known as “localizers”, are labeled with case:loc instead.
