The paper presents word-derivational features of verbs which co-occur with się and denote a change in the position of the body with respect to its vertical axis. The analysis shows how differences in the morphological structure of these verbs influence the manner in which the change of the position of the body proceeds. Moreover, the paper shows which elements of the meanings of verbs are carried by prefixes with which these verbs combine. The article also shows which of the morphological forms of the analysed verbs are primary, and what derivational relations hold between them and their derivatives.

The paper is a corpus-based study of verbal encoding of Motion events in the cognitive semantics framework. First, it introduces Talmy’s semantic typology, based on the way languages code the key component of the Motion event, namely Path (Verb-framed languages encode it on the verbal root, Satellite-framed language outside of it). It then provides an overview of the experimental and typological research, which Talmy inspired, and an overall critical assessment of Talmy’s proposal. This is followed by a pilot study of Motion event encoding in Czech (which has not appeared in the typological studies so far). Relying on what Chestermann (2003, s. 318) calls T-universals, namely quantitative deviations from the target language norm (Altenberg a Granger, 2002, s. 40), I compare Czech (Satellite-framed) translations of English (Satellite-framed) and Spanish (Verb-framed) fiction texts in their ways of expressing boundary-crossing events. The analysis confirms the typological difference between English and Spanish by revealing a wider range of verbal lemmata with the Path prefix v(e)- [in] in the subcorpus of translations from English, but approximately the same number of the verb tokens is found in both subcorpora; this is due to a small number of high freqency low-manner verbs (coding “motion on foot”) in the translations from Spanish. A future comparison with non-translated Czech data might reveal intratypological differences (in the sense of Hijazo-Gascón a Ibarretxe-Antuñano, 2013), namely between English and Czech.

The contrastive view of the valency of two languages is always a source of important information which could be used both in grammar and in didactics and translation. The following article shows differences in semantic valency between Polish and German motion verbs. The different levels of their semantic restrictions are described and compared as well as differences in semantic roles. The study also gives information about the semantic content of verbs when divergence occurs.

In the article I compare expressions of translational motion in Finnish texts and their Czech translation. The semantic analysis of verbs of motion is based on Talmy (2001, 2003) and I establish which components of a motion event (path, direction, goal, figure, manner) are essential when expressing motion events in the two languages and by what means they can be expressed. I also compare the results of my analysis with Talmyan typology of satellite-framed and verb-framed languages. I conclude that in Finnish many frequent motion verbs express aspects of path together with adverbial expressions, whereas in Czech verbs express manner more often than in Finnish. Finnish and Czech also use differing anchorings of the direction of motion — in Czech the direction is anchored with respect to explicitly mentioned surroundings; in Finnish deictic motion verbs are in frequent use and also several means of anchoring may be used in one clause (for example by a deictic motion verb and an adverbial or by several adverbials).

This article analyses the semantic plurivocity of the verb baisser in the Parallel Corpus of French-Polish Literary Texts, as well as the heterogeneity of its equivalents in the target language. Its objective is to specify: (a) which meanings, locative or abstract, are statistically the most significant; (b) whether particular meanings of baisser are translated as suggested by dictionaries and the analysis by Cholewa in paper titled Mouvement à polarité négative du sujet: (se) baisser (2021). Locative meanings of baisser dominate in the corpus, especially that meaning ‘lowering a part of the body’, which is used to describe facial expressions. The most common Polish equivalents are spuścić/spuszczać and opuścić/opuszczać. The observation of the (con)text of the French verb proved promising: with analyses on a larger corpus, it will be possible to indicate the correlations between the (con)text and the choice of a Polish equivalent.

W artykule przeanalizowano polisemię czasownika baisser w korpusie równoległym francusko‑polskich tekstów literackich, a także różnorodność jego odpowiedników w języku docelowym. Celem opracowania jest określenie: a) które znaczenia, lokatywne lub abstrakcyjne, są statystycznie najistotniejsze; b) czy poszczególne znaczenia baisser są tłumaczone zgodnie z sugestiami słowników i analizy, przedstawionej w artykule Joanny Cholewy Mouvement à polarité négative du sujet: (se) baisser (2021). W korpusie dominują znaczenia lokatywne baisser, a zwłaszcza to, które oznacza opuszczenie części ciała. Jego najczęstszymi polskimi odpowiednikami są spuścić/spuszczać i opuścić/opuszczać. Obserwacja ko(n)tekstu czasownika francuskiego okazała się obiecująca: dzięki analizom przeprowadzonym na większym korpusie możliwe będzie wskazanie korelacji między ko(n)tekstem a wyborem polskiego odpowiednika.
