I segnali discorsivi wiesz e sai in polacco e in italiano: un’analisi contrastiva
The discourse markers wiesz and sai in Polish and Italian: A contrastive analysis

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to conduct a contrastive analysis of the discourse marker wiesz (you know) in Polish and its Italian counterpart sai. Although the functions of wiesz and sai have been investigated in some studies, the issue has not been analyzed from a comparative perspective with respect to both Italian and Polish. The comparison of data from spoken language corpora in both languages has shown that wiesz and sai share almost all of the main functions and can therefore be considered – with a few exceptions – equivalent both semantically and pragmatically.
