Double post-nominal genitives in Czech have thus far been illustrated only by a single type of nominalized structure, e.g., zbavení ženy starostí ‘relieving woman-GEN worry-GEN.PL, i.e. relieving the woman of worries’. In this paper, we specify three other types of double post-nominal genitive constructions and search for their frequency in the Prague Dependency Treebank and in the Czech National Corpus. Although the constructions are rare and less acceptable, we try to show that Czech grammar system allows them. Special attention is paid to nominalizations of support verb constructions; they can be interpreted as one lexical unit which enables them to be used within double post-nominal genitive constructions.

In the present contribution, the main constitutive features of the Functional Generative Description as proposed by Petr Sgall and his collaborators are introduced together with a brief characterization of selected Czech grammatical phenomena within this framework. These phenomena include above all verbal and nominal valency and related issues and topic-focus articulation, esp. in relation to negation and presupposition. Criteria for the determination of valency members are proposed together with the changes in the valency structure connected with the application of different diatheses and alternations. The role of valency requirements in complex predicates is described and exemplified by means of derived structures. The other phenomenon investigated is connected with reflexive and reciprocal constructions. Furthermore, attention is devoted to the categorization of deletions and the related phenomenon of the general participant, and also to various comparative constructions that are described as constructions with surface deletions. The constructions introduced by the Czech preposition kromě ‘besides/instead of’ are used as an illustration of how their deep representation looks. The main tenets of FGD have been applied, verified and further refined in the Prague Dependency Treebank family and valency lexicons, which are briefly characterized here as well.
