tSummary and Outlook

We have presented syntactic properties of P � N � P � NP

combinations and have sketched the HPSG-based raising

analysis for these expressions.

Based on this analysis, we have investigated whether the

semantic representation of these expressions can be derived

combinatorial.

Applying two criteria of regularity, we have specified three

semantic classes of P N P NPs.

We have presented two HPSG-based approaches that can

account for all that data.

The raising analysis for P N P NP sequences, the external

selection approach of [Soehn 03], and the phrasal lexical entry

approach [Sailer 00] should be implemented and their

interaction tested and evaluated.
