In this paper, the author looks at the syntax of the preposition 'pred' (in front of) in its temporal uses, where it means 'before' or 'ago'. In particular, he analyzes PPs such as 'pred hodinou', lit. in front of an hour, meaning 'an hour ago', and he argues that while 'an hour' behaves like a complement of the preposition from the perspective of word order and case, semantically it is a measure phrase. The author proposes an analysis in which 'an hour' starts out as a measure phrase, but ends up as a complement as a result of a transformation displacing the adposition to the left of the measure phrase.

The Slovak preposition kvoli ('for the sake of') is frequently being used not only in its codified purpose/benefit sense (for the purpose of doing or achieving something; for the benefit of someone), but also in a causal sense (because of), discouraged by the present codification. As both readings can be clearly distinguished by the respective context of the preposition, we do not see any danger of their possible misinterpretation. After having analyzed the causal relationships and language evidence, we conclude that the causal reading of the kvoli preposition is acceptable both from the system and logical perspective.
