ADP: adposition

Adpositions is a term that covers both prepositions and postpositions. Irish only has prepositions.

Regular prepositions

There are simple and compound prepositions in Irish.

Inflected prepositions

16 of the most common simple prepositions can be inflected to mark pronominal objects. These are referred to as pronominal prepositions or prepositional pronouns.

Examples

Progressive aspectual phrases

The preposition “ag” is also used in conjunction with verbal nouns to form progressive aspectual phrases.

Examples

Treebank Statistics (UD_Irish)

There are 59 ADP lemmas (2%), 138 ADP types (3%) and 2240 ADP tokens (16%). Out of 16 observed tags, the rank of ADP is: 8 in number of lemmas, 5 in number of types and 2 in number of tokens.

The 10 most frequent ADP lemmas: i, ar, le, ag, de, do, ó, faoi, mar, as

The 10 most frequent ADP types: ar, i, ag, le, de, sa, leis, ina, mar, ann

The 10 most frequent ambiguous lemmas: i (ADP 440, PART 9), ar (ADP 384, PART 11, ADV 7, AUX 1, VERB 1), le (ADP 254, PART 3, SCONJ 1), ag (ADP 241, X 1), de (ADP 175, PART 6, SCONJ 2), do (ADP 153, PART 39, DET 5), ó (ADP 83, PART 18, SCONJ 2), faoi (ADP 63, X 2), mar (ADP 52, SCONJ 23), go (PART 146, ADP 44, SCONJ 12, NOUN 5, ADV 2, ADJ 1)

The 2nd highest number of forms (13) was observed with the lemma “ag”: a’, a’m, acu, ag, againn, againne, agam, agamsa, agat, agena, aice, aici, aige.

The 3rd highest number of forms (11) was observed with the lemma “i”: ann, i, in, ina, ins, inti, inár, iontu, sa, san, sna.
