And it may well be that items such as those italicised below are Prepositions which subcategorise a PP Complement headed by of: (80) (a) He stayed at home because [of the strike] (80) (b) He fell out [of the window] (80) (c) Few people outside [of the immediate family] know (80) (d) %It fell off [of the table] (dialectal)
