OPERACJE ITERUJĄCE W JĘZYKU POLSKIM (WPROWADZENIE DO OPISU)
Iterative Operations in Polish (Introduction to the Description)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to defi ne initially the repertoire of a certain subset of Polish language units which I call iterative operations. As I understand them (based on Bogusławski’s 1978, 1988), these are operations whose operandum is the expression w, which represents an unclosed class (which is a unit or a connection of units), while the outcome is a repetition of the expression w (or else at least double occurrence: w w…; possibly with some additional exponents) within a single speech whole (a phonological sentence phrase). These operations contradict ready-made units including identical segments (compare e.g. aby aby, całkiem całkiem, on the one hand, and a textual phenomenon of repetition of an utterance or part of it, on the other hand. I distinguish the following types of such operations: A) units with segmental exponents, including Aa) those with prosodic ones (compare I–VII) and Ab) with positional-infl ectional exponents (compare VIII–IX); B) units with segmental exponents (compare X–XVII). The abstracted operative units are not an object of detailed analyses, the repertoire of candidates for iterative operative units, as presented here, with their outlined description, is only an introductory outline of the research area.
