Präpositionalobjekt vs. Adverbial

The thesis of this study is that the prepositions of prepositional objects are not devoid of meaning, but rather occupy significative-semantic niches (semantic roles). The prepositional area is substantively structured through these corpus-based, acquired prepositional niches, thereby differentiating prepositional objects from adjuncts. In terms of grammatical theory, the study thus integrates valence theory and construction grammar.
