a strategy found with nonprototypical construction types, such as predicate nominal constructions which express predication of an object concept. The semantic IP strategy is to recruit the strategy used for the prototypical information packaging function of the (actual) information packaging in the nonprototypical construction. Example: in the English Predicate Nominal Construction exemplified by Rich is an excellent violinist, the semantic object concept violinist that is being predicated recruits the construction used for object reference, the prototypical object construction: it is preceded by the article an and the adjective excellent. The semantic IP strategy contrasts with the actual IP strategy and the hybrid IP strategy. (Section 2.4)
