    • 1995, Ann Copestake, Ted Briscoe, “Semi-productive Polysemy and Sense Extension”, in Journal of Semantics, volume 12, number 1, →DOI, page 49:
      We can assume that acceptable examples of co-predication are evidence that a single structure is available, and thus that constructional polysemy is at work. However, we will argue that zeugma is not in general explicable on the basis of the existence of multiple distinct lexical structures.
