The study focuses on the functional combinatorics of the congruent attributions from the viewpoint of the universal-pragmatic theory of naturalness and the principle of cognitive economy. It deals with the procedural aspect of attributions which reflect a close connection between the syntactic and lexical level of language and interplay of the short and long term memory. Relying on the data of the Slovak National Corpus, the aim of the article is to (1) identify the factors which determine the substantive basis of a construction on the level of preference and recurrence, (2) specify semantically resonant attributions of the first, second and third prenominal zones, (3) explain the conflict between a restrictive function of the attribute and an expansive core of the developing attribution possibly caused by a constant balancing between the necessity of semantic (and grammar) compatibility and possibilities of pragmatic emphasis. The epistemic value of the article is its attempt to discuss particular ways by which its findings can be applied to other conceptual domains. It also aims at using its many exemplifications in further generalizations.
