(-)- So, it seems clear that the idiosyncratic restrictions relating to the range of
complements which a Preposition does or does not permit are directly analo-
gous to the parallel restrictions which hold in the case of Verbs. The restric-
tions concerned are not categorial'' in nature (i.e. they are not associated with
every single item belonging to a given category): on the contrary, they are
''lexical in nature (that is to say, they are properties of individual lexical items,
so that different words belonging to the same category permit a different range
of complements).
