7 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper I used a bidirectional OT approach to account for the case distribution in the Finnish spatial adpositional system. I argued that adpositions in general can have a more or less marked meaning. In Finnish this markedness is reflected in the assignment of case. Partitive case, as the marked form, is assigned to marked adpositions, and the unmarked genitive case is used for the unmarked ones. Within case alternating adpositions, this same tendency is found, albeit along different lines of markedness.</Paragraph>
