(CA+N sequences being more typical of informal Polish), subtle semantic distinctions
(CA+N combinations resorting to more transparent taxonomies than N+CA units) as
well as differences in the information structure of sentences containing the alterna-
tive (N+CA or CA+N) linearization patterns. The representational model adopted here
(following Cetnarowska, Pysz & Trugman 2011a, b) is flexible enough to account for
the mobility and interpretive range of adjectival modifiers in Polish noun phrases.
