I just discussed with Julia about introducing a lex:freq property for
absolute counts, and she also had the idea that synBehavior may be a place
to record prepositional vs. complementizer uses independently from
lexinfo:partOfSpeech. Making the SyntacticFrame argument (that synBehavior
requires) an instance of olia:SubordinatingConjunction, resp.
olia:Adposition would be the most compact encoding.

I think that a native ontolex+lexinfo solution might work, too (with some
extensions of lexinfo), but I am not a big fan of this solution because of
its verbosity (in modelling, but more importantly, for querying): Prepositional
uses may be encoded with lexinfo:PrepositionFrame with nominal complement,
subordinating uses with lexinfo:PrepositionFrame with clausal complement.

Just having two POS would be way more natural, though. I guess changing the
wording in the description is not an option? This is just about dropping
the word "single" -- which has been suggested before AFAIK, and for
independent reasons.

Best,
Christian
