0. Introduction In this paper, I will attempt to show that the Polish word sam (‘himself’, an adjectival modifier) should be interpreted as a “floating intensifier” – a term I base on the parallel with so-called floating quantifiers (cf. Sportiche 1988). The surface syntactic position of the intensifier sam with respect to personal pronouns and nouns can serve as evidence as to the applicability of the Determiner Phrase hypothesis to Polish. I propose a generative analysis of why the adjective sam can appear both adnominally and adverbially, and how its position influences the scope of intensification.
