Factorized coordinated predicative structures prove to be a problem to transfer whenever the bilingual lexicon suggests a non-isomorphic translation for one of the predicative conjuncts, in particular a solution that requires incorporation of the predicative description into the translation of the source (support) verb. The problem disappears if the factorized structure is ’multiplied out’, res...

Complex predicates with light verbs have proven to be very challenging for syntactic theories, particularly due to the tricky distribution of valency complementations of light verbs and predicative nouns (or other predicative units) in their syntactic structure. We propose a theoretically adequate and economical representation of complex predicates with Czech light verbs based on a division of ...

This article is a contribution to the research on noun predication in Polish. More specifically, it focusses role of support verb (Vsup) verb-noun constructions. In this type structure, also called collocation, or conventionalized syntagma, collocated with an abstract noun. paper, Grażyna Vetulani discusses some crucial aspects Vsup Despite its apparently subordinated non-predicative role, brin...
