Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate how to treat some difficult phenomena related to non-standard expression of valency patterns of Czech deverbal nouns. Some new attributes have been introduced to indicate: (i) alternative, stylistically marked forms of actants expressed by secondary prepositions, and (ii) marginal forms of actants expressed by primary prepositions. The paper shows that the number of forms of adnominal actants is often increased in comparison with the verbal ones, differentiating regular forms and alternative forms. We also discuss cases of ambiguous forms of two different actants and put forward some criteria for their interpretation.
