Coordination: Some evidence for DP and NumP in Czech

Résumé

In this paper, I show that facts about nominal coordination provide evidence for the hypothesis of three syntactic projections (NP, NumP, DP) within Czech nominal phrases. Assuming a flexible character of the NumP projection, existence of these projections allows to explain semantic differences between coordinations with the conjunctions a, i and s: these conjuctions do not conjoin the same projections. Furthemore, semantic character of each projection also explains agreement patterns with preverbal coordinate subjects: while argumental coordinations trigger plural agreement, predicate coordinations trigger singular agreement. Flexible NumPs allow both plural and singular agreement.
