This article suggests an analysis of the N after N construction, exemplified by question after question, along the lines of the tripartite parallel theory advanced by Jackendoff (1997, 2002). It will be observed that the construction manifests a syntax-semantics mismatch: a singular noun in syntax but a bare plural noun in semantics. This mismatch is argued to be due to a correspondence rule that associates syntactically subordinate structure with semantically coordinate structure. It will be also shown that the analysis is applicable to the N ni-tugu N construction, the Japanese counterpart to the N after N construction.
