Semantic Evolution of Polish obcy and obecny

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

The author analyzes the semantic evolution of Polish adjectives obcy and obecny, deriving from the Common Slavic *o b ь t' ь. They are both shifters, which means that their reference is context dependent. She demonstrates that their lines of semantic evolution in Polish are unique in the Slavic linguistic world.
