N2 - &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;In this paper I will examine N&amp;#43;N juxtapositions in Polish, such as &lt;em&gt;kobieta anioł&lt;/em&gt; (woman angel) ‘an angel of a woman’, &lt;em&gt;praca marzenie&lt;/em&gt; (job dream) ‘dream job’, &lt;em&gt;dziecko geniusz&lt;/em&gt; (child genius) ‘prodigy child’ and &lt;em&gt;kierowca cham&lt;/em&gt; (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&amp;#43;N juxtapositions under analysis fall into two groups. Juxtapositions belonging to the first group, e.g. &lt;em&gt;kierowca cham&lt;/em&gt; ‘a lout of a driver’, behave like coordinate compound-like units. Juxtapositions which form the second group of expressive complexes, such as &lt;em&gt;kobieta anioł&lt;/em&gt; ‘an angel of a woman’ and &lt;em&gt;praca marzenie&lt;/em&gt; ‘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.&lt;/p&gt;
