This paper explores the role of semantic structures in glue in the light of recent proposals regarding the internal content of these structures. I propose to 'split' meaning constructors into two, enabling a proper account of the dual role of semantic structures within glue expressions. This effects a solution to the granularity problem, which has long plagued treatments of information structure within LFG.
