Inflected Preposition (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In some languages, an inflected preposition, or conjugated preposition, is a word formed from the contraction of a preposition with a personal pronoun. For instance, in Scottish Gaelic, to say "before him," one can not say *ro e, but roimhe (/r /), which historically developed from a fusion of pronoun and preposition. Conjugated prepositions are commonly reanalysed as inflected words by native speakers and by traditional grammar.
