Hello everybody,

I would like to know if anyone has done some work on
possible combinations of German determiners in HPSG, 
e.g.,

(1) a. diese meine Tante
       this  my    aunt
    b. *meine diese Tante
       my     this  aunt

(2) a. eine solche Frau
       a    such   woman
    b. *die solche Frau
       the  such   woman

(3) a. alle jene  schoenen  Frauen
       all  those beautiful women
    b. ??jene alle schoenen  Frauen
       those  all  beautiful women

I only know of the determiner analyses given in Pollard 
and Sag (1994) and Netter (1994) which do not seem to 
allow combinations of two or more determiners. 

Thanks a lot for your help.
-Roman.
