We discuss CC in the complementizerless verbal complexes, which we call verb clusters (VC). Both the behaviour of Polish clitics and properties of VC are different in Polish and Romance. Although we apply (‘standard’ for HPSG) lexical encoding to account for CC, our a...

Working within the framework of cognitive ...
