The concept of phrase and group in a formal syntax description

Urszula Andrejewicz

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of group and phrase as well as their function in a formalized syntax description. The assumptions adopted by Z. Saloni and M. Swidzinski in "The Syntax of Contemporary Polish Language" have made a starting point for the considerations . Moreover, the above mentioned authors' conceptual and terminological apparatus have been adopted as well. As a result of the co-ordinate clauses construction analysis' output the author of this article postulates such changes in the way phrases connotations and typology are described that would allow non typical syntax elements be covered by them.
