Polish prefix stacking redux

Abstract This chapter focuses on describing the formal properties of multiple aspectual prefixation in Polish, as in po-na-ścinać ‘cut something down in large quantity, one by one.’ This corner of Polish grammar is characterized by a density of facts, which range from perfectivizing properties of aspectual prefixes to attested and unattested prefix stacking patterns. This work attempts to challenge a subset of these facts and argues that they can be captured under certain assumptions about the composition of the syntactic functional sequence and the prefix formation mechanism proposed in Starke (2018) and explored in some other works on Nanosyntax.
