ADJP Complements of P
"fyrir víst" see PPCME2,PPCEME guidelines
but "satt að segja" projects an NP:
(NP-OB1 (ADJ-NSNSP satt-sannur) (CP-EOP (WNP-2 0) (IP-INF (NP-OB1 *T*-2) (TO að-að) (VB-TA mæla-mæla))))
Complements of PP
Complements of P are always bare phrasal tags, e.g. NP, ADJP, not: NP-OB1, NP-POS, NP-COM.
Usually NP, but ADJP and ADVP can also be the complement of P in a limited number of cases (usually fixed expressions); see PPCME2,PPCEME, and also: UM HEILT. Note: SANNUR, in e.g. "með sönnu að segja", projects an NP when it is the complement of P.
Fixed expressions where a PP takes an ADJP complement:
- Ekki leið á löngu.
PPs can also be recursive, as in the example below. See also [MILLUM, MILLI] and [ÞAR Á MILLI].
(PP (P í-í)
(PP (P gegnum-gegnum)
(NP (PRO-A það-það))))
While this structure is relatively rare in the English corpora, it is not rare in Icelandic.
