Lexico-semantic Coordination in Polish

On the basis of data extracted from the largest currently available corpus of Polish, this paper discusses a variety of coordination under which, contrary to previous (mostly implicit) assumptions, particular conjuncts may correspond to distinct grammatical functions at the level of f-structure as long as they represent the same restricted semantic class (wh-words, n-words and items expressing quantifiers). Moreover, it demonstrates that dependents coordinated in this way may additionally belong to entirely different f-structures (depend on distinct heads) and it offers a formal analysis which was successfully implemented in a large XLE grammar of Polish.
