The paper discusses the syntax and semantics of the Norwegian preposition med, which denotes a variety of concomitance relations. The c-structural, f-structural and semantic properties of the preposition are examined. Special emphasis is put on the constructions which involve syntax-semantics mismatches, such as bare noun phrases denoting sets of states instead of sets of individuals and it is shown how this can be dealt with in Glue semantics.
