SOME ISSUES IN POLISH SYNTAX Robert D. Borsley University of Wales, Bangor One of the most obvious ways in which Polish differs from English is in its very free word order. Hence, it is natural to ask how the great variety of word orders that are possible in Polish should be analyzed. Do they involve just the same mechanisms as the more restricted displacement and discontinuity phenomena that are found in English? Or are they in part the result of other mechanisms? Within HPSG, order domains, as developed by Kathol (1995) and Penn (1999) are an obvious alternative mechanism. It seems natural to account for some Polish phenomena with order domains, but as soon as one does this, one faces the question: which phenomena should and which should not be accounted for in terms of order domains? I will discuss this question (inconclusively) mainly with reference to wh-questions.
