This paper provides a lexicalist formal description of preposition-pronoun contraction (PPC) in Polish, using the theoretical framework of HPSG. Considering the behaviour of PPC with respect to the prosodic, categorial, syntactic and semantic properties, the assumption can be made that each PPC is a morphological unit with prepositional status. The crucial difference between a PPC and a typical preposition consists, besides the phonological form, in the valence properties. While a typical preposition realizes its complement externally via general constraints on phrase structure, the realization of a PPC argument is effected internally by virtue of its lexical entry. Here, we will provide the appropriate implicational lexical constraints that license both typical Ps and PPCs.
This paper provides a treatment of Polish Plural Comitative Constructions in the paradigm of HPSG in the tradition of Pollard and Sag (1994). Plural Comitative Constructions (PCCs) have previously been treated in terms of coordination, complementation and adjunction. The objective of this paper is to show that PCCs are neither instances of typical coordinate structures nor of typical complement or adjunct structures. It thus appears difficult to properly describe them by means of the standard principles of syntax and semantics. The analysis proposed in this paper accounts for the syntactic and semantic properties of PCCs in Polish by assuming an adjunction-based syntactic structure for PCCs, and by treating the indexical information provided by PCCs not as subject to any inheritance or composition, but as a result of applying a set of principles on number, gender and person resolution that also hold for ordinary coordinate structures.
