Abstract

The paper proposes formal rules for linear ordering of adnominal genitive dependents cosubordinated to the same noun in Russian. In a standard case, the cosubordinated NGEN-is are mutually positioned as a function of the surface-syntactic relation that dominates each NGEN-i (there are six such surface-syntactic relations). But fairly often the positioning of an NGEN-i is determined by its meaning; thus, if in an N→NGEN-i construction an NGEN expresses the type of N’s referent, this NGEN precedes all the other NGEN-is. The ordering of cosubordinated genitives (which is mostly syntactic) is compared with the ordering of cosubordinated adjectives, whose position is determined by a hierarchy of their semantic classes (i.e., semantically).
