In this paper I will examine N+N juxtapositions in Polish, such as kobieta anio (woman angel) 'an angel of a woman' , praca marzenie (job dream) 'dream job' , dziecko geniusz (child genius) 'prodigy child' , and kierowca cham (driver lout) 'a lout of a driver' . I will demonstrate that they exhibit properties of expressive combinations, as discussed for English by Potts ( It will be proposed that Polish expressive N+N juxtapositions under analysis fall into two groups. Juxtapositions belonging to the first group, e.g. kierowca cham 'a lout of a driver' , behave like coordinate compound-like units. Juxtapositions which form the second group of expressive complexes, such as kobieta anio 'an angel of a woman' and praca marzenie '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
