It seems that Adposition Phrases (PPs) can be the subject of a predication.

Taken at face value, sentences like the one below show that PPs can be the subject of a predication:

1
Hjir lâns is koarter
R-this along is shorter
Along here is shorter

Sentences like the one below seem to involve an anticipatory pronoun het it that is coreferential with a following PP, effectively rendering the PP the subject of the predication:

2
Ik fyn it te waarm [yn Rome]
I find it too hot in Rome
I find it too hot in Rome

It is controversial whether a PP can be the argument of a predication.
