Abstract
In the paper, a new formal definition of Polish nominal phrases is presented. Based upon a certain formal grammar of Polish (FGP) that applies a formalism of metamorphosis grammar, it is the first step towards redesigning the entire grammar. It makes use of the results of experiments with implementation of the grammar. After a report on empirical data a large set of parameters that formalize various grammatical features is introduced. Some of those parameters are really new, others are to be reinterpreted and improved. A number of rules are written down to illustrate the way empirical expressions are accounted for. The paper ends in formulating some postulates that the new version of FGP is expected to fulfil.
