Post-Adpositions in Old English

When one seeks to describe this construction, it is often unhelpful to recall the common definition of a preposition as the grammatical item that precedes a (pro)noun or noun phrase. The term postposition has been coined to denote the cases where the preposition follows its object whilst the generic term adposition covers both preposition and postposition. Still, the distribution of the two types of adposition is not even in all languages: post-position constitutes a marked alternative to pre-position in many languages whereas the opposite holds in some others. In OE, adpositions may switch (from pre-position to post-position) in view of the morphological nature of the object in the sense that ‘‘both pre-position and postposition are used alone after personal pronouns’’. Likewise, Visser argues that ‘‘the preposition usually follows the pronominal object when the personal pronoun (henceforth pp) is in a clear dative case’’.
