Dear colleagues,
I am interested in the constituent order of the subjunctive particle _by_
in Polish, as in the following example:
Bo by drukarza zabyto.
Here the constituent _by_ seems to be in second position. I have found other
examples, however, in which _by_ seems to follow the verb:
tan'czonoby (unfortunately only a single word)
s'piewanoby ( " )
Can anyone clarify? Best, --Loren Billings (billings at mailer.fsu.edu)
