A remark concerning the temporal adverb już and its French equivalentsGenerally speaking, this contrastive study of the Polish temporal adverb już and the French déjà is based around the idea that już and déjà have an invariant meaning but it is also true that they follow different idiosyncratic usages. This article has two parts. First, the authors show the usages of już which are equivalent to those of déjà. These usages appear when już and déjà are put in a specific verbal context. The authors describe the four cases in which już and déjà are equivalent: “precocity of event”, existential usage, iterative-continuative usage, experiential perfect usage. Secondly, the authors analyze four cases in which the Polish adverb już can’t be translated by the French déjà. These incompatibilities can be explained by either morphological idiosyncrasy or the conventionalization of deictic meaning of już, which is absent of déjà.

The paper deals with the possibilities of the co‑ occurrence database CCDB for translation from Czech into German. The analysis is carried out on two practical examples (rukopis and opačný) which are difficult for translators as there is no proper German or Czech‑ German dictionary that would include collocations based on language use. These collocations would help in many cases more than a (often too vague) general description of the meaning or a list of lexicographic synonyms. That is why this paper offers a combination of two approaches: a dictionary search combined with a CCDB analysis which can reveal tendencies in language use.
