Semantic Structure of the Sentence and Its Realisations (Bulgarian "аха" and Its Polish Equivalents)
Semantic Structure of the Sentence and Its Realisations (Bulgarian "аха" and Its Polish Equivalents)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to establish the relevant semantic features of the Bulgarian particle аха in the predicative function. It is thought that its semantic structure includes a potential and a temporal component. Hence, the function of the analysed particle is a specific result of semantic condensation. Possibilities to form Polish semantic equivalents of Bulgarian sentences with аха are indicated. Polish language does not have any synonymous lexical unit with the Bulgarian аха, so equivalent sentences have the form of an analytical paraphrase. According to the model of semantic syntax, the categories of modality (M) and temporality (T) are not parts of the Dictum (D), which dominates the predicate (P) and its arguments (in the model of the elementary sentence structure). Therefore, the same semantic structures are realized as different formal structures in both languages.
