a strategy found with nonprototypical construction types, such as complement constructions which express reference to actions. The hybrid IP strategy uses a mixture of the semantic IP strategy and the actual IP strategy. Example: in Her drinking coffee (surprises me), the English Gerund Construction combines the Possessive Pronoun her, characteristic of the prototypical object reference construction and hence an instance of the actual information packaging of her drinking coffee (reference), with the Object form coffee, characteristic of the prototypical action predication construction and hence an instance of the prototypical information packaging function of the semantics of the action being referred to, namely predication.
