a strategy found with nonprototypical construction types, such as complement constructions which express reference to actions. The hybrid IP strategy uses a mixture of the semantic IP strategy and the actual IP strategy. Example: in Her drinking coffee (surprises me), the English Gerund Construction combines the Possessive Pronoun her, characteristic of the prototypical object - reference construction and hence an instance of the actual information packaging of her drinking coffee (reference), with the Object form coffee, characteristic of the prototypical action - predication construction and hence an instance of the prototypical information packaging function of the semantics of the action being referred to, namely predication.
