The paper presents a formal account of sentences with a numeral-nominal subject and an adjectival complement, such as Tych pięciu facetów zostało zabitych ‘These five guys were killed’. The agreements in such sentences are highly idiosyncratic. To cope with them in the framework of a certain formal grammar of Polish, a number of extra means are proposed: special “numeral” realization of the nominal phrase in subject position, special “plural” adjectival complement, special rules that introduce the adjectival phrase in genitive, special valence frames for such strange phrases, and, finally, a special mechanism of interphrasal gender-number agreements. The paper argues for individual treatment of idiosyncrasies, instead of an artificial account in terms of general principles.

Linguistic treatments of Bantu languages have traditionally focused on broadly historical/comparative studies or on prototypical characteristics of the family, such as the nominal class system, the complexity of the verbal TAM system, or the tonal system. Consequently, far less attention has been placed upon the nominal phrase as a syntactic unit. To this end, Rugemalira (2007) proposes greater emphasis on Bantu morphosyntax generally. As such, the present study – situated within a broader discussion of the Bantu NP (cf. Chitebeta 2007, Godson & Godson 2015, Lusekelo 2009, Makanjila 2019, Möller 2011, Ondondo 2015, Rugemalira 2007) – builds upon Spier (2016, 2020, 2021) and intro-duces the first descriptive account of the nominal phrase in Ikyaushi, an underdocumented linguistic variety spoken in the Republic of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The data for this study, which arrive from fourteen narratives shared orally by male and female native speakers of the grandparental generation, indicate that seven distinct elements may co-occur with the nominal, but utterances with between one and three co-occurring adnominals are far more frequently attested and more straightforwardly comprehensible to speakers

The author argues that prepositions are an integral part of nominal phrases, and their graphic treatment as autonomous words is purely a lexicographic convention. They have maintained their primary meaning which is localization of material objects and events in space and time, and they subsequently evolved to also express localization in the social world and in the mental world. In a grammatical description of a language they should be discussed together with the semantic and formal structure of nominal phrases.

Obwohl das Merkmal Person zu den grundlegenden grammatischen Merkmalen gehört und der Eindruck besteht, dass alles darüber ausgesagt wurde, sieht es aber aus, dass einige Gegebenheiten noch genauer behandelt werden müssen. Dieser Beitrag untersucht, ob die deutschen Nominalphrasen, die als Kern kein Personalpronomen haben, auch andere Merkmale als das der 3. Person tragen können. Es wird gezeigt, dass Anredeformen nur die 2. Person beanspruchen. Demzufolge wird die (nur) 3. Person Annahme vorgeschlagen, die in allen deskriptiven Grammatiken deutscher Sprache akzeptiert ist, zu modifizieren. Genauer gesagt, sollte das Merkmal 2. Person für jede Nominal­phrase vorgegeben werden, die die charakteristische (Vokativ-) Intonationskontur in der gesproche­nen Sprache hat oder mit einem bestimmten (Vokativ-) Interpunktionszeichen in der geschriebenen Sprache erfolgt. Somit könnten die Schwierigkeiten bei der Darlegung von Kongruenz/Rektion ver­mieden werden.

Although the feature Person belongs to the basic grammatical categories and the impression is that everything has been said, it seems, however, that some matters must be treated in more details. Con­cretely, this article will investigate if German noun phrases which heads are no personal pronouns, could hold other person feature than the 3rd person which is specified in the lexicon. It will be shown that quasi-vocative noun phrases hold 2nd person only. Consequently, proposal is to modify 3rd person only assumption which is accepted in all descriptive grammars of German language. Specifically, the person feature should be fixed to 2nd person feature for any noun phrase which has a characteristic vocative-intonation contour in the speaking language or is followed with a specific punctuation for vocative noun phrases in written language. In this way all possible problematic issues related to syntactic relations (agreement/government) and noun phrase structure could be avoided.
