Description: Adpositions (Ps) show a considerable amount of variation, both within and across languages, with respect to the cases they assign. To my knowledge, this variation has net been surveyed, nor has it been fully accounted for by generative theory. In this chapter I present a classification of case marking by Ps and in addition make a few brief remarks on how such case marking might be accounted for. This will not be a comprehensive account, as only a fraction of the large number of relevant languages will be discussed, but it should illustrate the great variety that occurs in this area of the grammar and provide a framework in which to place other variants, should they be found.
