Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with different grammatical models of incongruous noun phrases with qualitative meaning, their mutual meaning relations and the parallel usage of these models in certain contexts. Therefore this paper is centered on grammatical structures with or without prepositions in the genitive,accusative, instrumental and locative cases. Also discussed are noun phrases which have a tied noun phrase with undeclined numbers in the position of dependent articles. All the above-mentioned structural models are marked with specific meaning characteristics according to the essential meanings of the cases, to characteristics of the governing and dependent elements of a phrase, the meaning characteristics of the prepositions in prepositional-case constructions and appearance of complements or adjuncts in such structures. Every single constructional model is marked with specific shades of meaning; hence the purpose of this paper is to offer their morphological-syntactic and semantic comparisons.
