Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with some adverbials for gradation of time in Bulgarian and Polish (especially рано/wcześnie, късно/późno). Some temporal adverbs have only formal meaning of gradation, since it vanishes in certain cases, and remains in others. We discuss the means for expressing gradation of time of the adverbs рано / wcześnie and късно /późno. These temporal expressions denote the object localization ‘before’ or 'after' a temporal localizator.
