The ambition of this study is to present the particle also in the contexts that determine its validity in speech/text in communication and pragmatic contexts. The assessment is based on the presumption of the intentionality and purposeful nature of the speaker’s verbal action and the concept of fact. In this paper, we focus on (a) the functional characteristics of the particle also (as a presupposition trigger and updater); (b) the reconstruction of sentence meaning through the commutability of the particle also by metalinguistic expressions (explanatory operators, such as ʻtakistoʼ (as well), ʻajʼ (too), ʻaniʼ (neither), ʻnavyšeʼ (moreover) / ʻzároveňʼ (at the same time) / ʻpopritomʼ (along with) / ʻokrem tohoʼ (in addition to)); (c) identification of the frameworks of functional polyinterpretation (within the source domains of agreement, comparison and contradiction, and the relationships of cause, conditionality, and admission, etc.), which form the semantic and pragmatic basis of the functioning of the particle also and participate in its decoding and encoding. We will analyse and interpret the selected phenomena based on the data collected from the Slovak National Corpus. The numerous documents support and clarify the analysed issues.

The question of ultimate constituents of the physical universe was one of the first questions at the dawn of the Western tradition of philosophy. At present, the most successful answers to this question are offered by the fundamental theories of elementary particle physics, which are formulated within the broader conceptual and mathematical apparatus of quantum field theory. The aim of this paper is to explain in an accessible manner the fundamental changes brought about by the transition from particle to field understanding of the universe in contemporary physics. The brief account of Newton’s ontological view of the world serves both as an introduction and as a background to what follows. The paper also intends to address and encourage philosophers interested in ontological problems to study the latest physical theories despite their mathematical complexity and apparent inaccessibility.
