abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper I will examine N+N juxtapositions in Polish, such as <em>kobieta anioł</em> (woman angel) ‘an angel of a woman’, <em>praca marzenie</em> (job dream) ‘dream job’, <em>dziecko geniusz</em> (child genius) ‘prodigy child’ and <em>kierowca cham</em> (driver lout) ‘a lout of a driver’. I will demonstrate that they exhibit properties of expressive combinations, as discussed for English by Potts (2007) and for German by Meibauer (2013). It will be proposed that Polish expressive N+N juxtapositions under analysis fall into two groups. Juxtapositions belonging to the first group, e.g. <em>kierowca cham</em> ‘a lout of a driver’, behave like coordinate compound-like units. Juxtapositions which form the second group of expressive complexes, such as <em>kobieta anioł</em> ‘an angel of a woman’ and <em>praca marzenie</em> ‘dream job’, can be treated as attributive-appositive (ATAP) combinations (in Scalise and Bisetto’s 2009 classification). The occurrence of a cline between coordinate and attributive multi-word units is postulated.</p>},
