| Apr 9, 2012 at 19:42 | comment | added | John Lawler | Many prepositions can be used as conjunctions, and vice versa. The categories are often unified because they differ only in whether they are followed by a Noun Phrase (prepositions) or by a clause (subordinating conjunctions) -- or even by nothing (particles of phrasal verbs). | |

| Apr 9, 2012 at 19:02 | comment | added | Emanuel | Hmmm... I see differing answers here. I would actually think it is a subordinating conjunction too but is there official evidence? Is that undebatable amongst linguists? | |
