When presented with examples of the exclusively literary type of hyperbaton out of their literary context, native speakers of Polish either rejected them say-ing that they did not understand why the Y1 modifiers were in hyperbaton, or corrected them into colloquially acceptable hyperbata by stressing the Y1 modifier so as to induce a strong narrow focus. Consider the following Polish examples (Giejgo 1981) Slynnego przywitali-my j-znawce famous we greeted linguist J-zykoznaw-e przywitali-my s-ynnego linguist we greeted famous 'We greeted a famous linguist' Szynk? kupil I chleb ham bought and bread 'We bought ham and bread
Redundant marking of the first person plural of the past by -?smy on the verb when the pronoun my 'we' is available. Thus, children may say my- ?my poszli- ?my 'we-first/plural went-first/plural' (= 'we went') for correct my- ?my poszli 'we-first/plural went' (= 'we went') (Friedrich, 1977)
