How to earn happiness? Semantics and syntactic properties of the verb zapracować

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a syntactic analysis of the Polish verb zapracować (‘to earn’). The point of departure is the observation that descriptions of verbal valency are often limited to formal analyses. Contrary to that, the author focuses on the semantic features of verbs, equally important in her opinion, and following this strategy, she confronts the valency structure of the lexemes zapracować and pracować. She proposes three syntactic positions for the verb zapracować, and presents semantic characteristics of the arguments filling these positions.
