The syntax of distance distributivity in Polish: Preserving generalisations with weak heads

Adam Przepiórkowski · Proceedings of the International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar · 2013

This paper presents a syntactic HPSG analysis of distance distributivity in Polish, where the challenge is to uniformly analyse a number of function lexemes PO 'each' which share their form and semantic contribution, but differ in their syntactic behaviour. To this end, the HPSG notion of weak head is employed in a novel way.
