This paper examines the polysemy patterns of two postpositions marking class-membership and property assignment in Jeli, a Central Mande language, in terms of metaphorical extensions and iconic motivation. It thus aims at broadening the empirical base for a typology of “identificational” postpositions in the Mande languages.
