What is a prepositional phrase appositive?

A prepositional phrase appositive is a type of appositive that is introduced by a preposition. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or identifies another noun or pronoun in a sentence. When the appositive is introduced by a preposition, it forms a prepositional phrase appositive. This type of appositive provides additional information or clarification about the noun or pronoun it is referring to. For example, in the sentence "The book on the shelf, a classic novel, is my favorite," the prepositional phrase appositive "a classic novel" provides more information about the noun "book."
