One of the well-known properties of Slavic languages is that they
show subject-oriented reflexives. This book presents this
phenomenon in Polish in great empirical detail and provides its
up-to-date syntactic analysis, couched in the minimalist model of
grammar. The analysis accounts for the fact that not only
nominative subjects but also experiencers, both dative-marked and
some accusative-marked, function as antecedents for reflexive
elements. On the basis of empirical studies, the book explains why
dative experiencers bind both reflexive and pronominal possessives
in identical local configurations, while nominatve subjects bind
only reflexive possessives. The authors investigate both
long-distance binding relations in infinitives and contexts
internal to nominal phrases. Extensive references are made to
binding in other languages and alternative models.
Numeral constructions in Polish are known for their complex
morpho-syntax: in particular, depending on the type, case and
syntactic context, the numeral may show properties of the adjective
or the noun. This volume presents a comprehensive analysis of these
constructions set in the current generative-minimalist model of
grammar, with elements of nano-syntax. The authors pay particular
attention to a feature-based derivation of the numeral construction
in its different versions, including complex multiplicative
numerals, as well as its distribution in the clause. Numerals in
the subject position, with their peculiar case and agreement
features become a focal point of attention. Their properties
receive a principled account through the use of the case projection
sequence and disciplined movements within it.
