Polish Verbal Negation Revisited: A Metamorphosis vs. HPSG Account

Adam Przepiórkowski and Marek Swidzinski

Technical Report 829, IPI PAN (Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences), 1997.

This report presents two syntactic analyses of Polish verbal negation set up in two different linguistic formalisms: Metamorphosis Grammar and Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. After presenting a plethora of facts concerning verbal negation, we move to providing a detailed metamorphosis account of these facts. We also sketch an HPSG analysis of the same coverage suggesting how both formalisms can capture various linguistic generalizations in an elegant way.
