The Use of the Lexical Exponents of Hypothetical Modality in Polish and LithuanianIn this article the author focuses on the issue of hypothetical modality[1] in Polish and Lithuanian. A list of the basic exponents of hypothetical modality in both languages is presented. However, the focus is mainly placed on the lexical exponents. On the basis of one of the six groups, which describes a high degree of probability (H5), the differences between the use of the lexical exponents in both languages are examined. In the study, multilingual corpora resources, including The Polish-Lithuanian parallel corpus Clarin-PL., are utilized.[1] [In the academic literature, for the notion described herein, the term of epistemic modality is also used.  Nevertheless, in this paper I will continue to use the term of hypotheticality, which I borrowed from the studies on modality, conducted in Polish-Bulgarian cooperation (Slavic Institute of Polish Academy of Sciences and Institute for Bulgarian Language of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences).] O użyciu wykładników leksykalnych modalności hipotetycznej w językach polskim i litewskimW artykule autorka porusza zagadnienie modalności hipotetycznej[1]  w językach polskim i litewskim. Przedstawia wykaz podstawowych wykładników modalności hipotetycznej w obu językach. Główną uwagę skupia jednak na wykładnikach leksykalnych. Na przykładzie jednej z sześciu grup, opisującej wysoki stopień prawdopodobieństwa (H5), omawia różnice użycia wykładników leksykalnych w obu językach. W badaniach wykorzystuje wielojęzyczne zasoby korpusowe, w tym Polsko-litewski korpus równoległy Clarin-PL.[1] [W literaturze przedmiotu na oznaczenie opisywanych tu treści stosowany jest również termin epistemiczności. Niemniej jednak w tej pracy autorka pozostaje przy terminie hipotetyczności, który zapożycza z badań nad modalnością, prowadzonych we współpracy polsko-bułgarskiej (Instytut Slawistyki PAN i Instytut Języka Bułgarskiego BAN).]

Lexical exponents of hypothetical modality in Polish and LithuanianThe article focuses on the lexical exponents of hypothetical modality in Polish and Lithuanian. The purpose for comparing and contrasting the lexical exponents of hypothetical modality is not only to identify all the lexemes in both languages but also find the answer to the following question: whether the morphological exponents of hypothetical modality (so-called modus relativus) familiar to the Lithuanian language have/had an influence on limiting the number of the lexical exponents and the frequency of using these exponents in the Lithuanian language (in comparison with Polish).To analyse both the languages there is used the method of theoretical contrastive studies, which the most important features are: (1) orienting the studies from the content grounds to the formal grounds, (2) using a semantic interlanguage as tertium comparationis. First of all, the content of hypothetical modality and its definition and paraphrase is given here. Next, the gradational character of this category is discussed. There are distinguished six groups of lexemes expressing the corresponding degrees of hypothetical modality - from a shadow of uncertainty (minimal degree of probability) to an almost complete certainty (maximum degree of probability). The experimental Polish-Lithuanian corpus is widely applied in the studies.

Lexical indicators of the hypothetical modality in Polish and LithuanianThe dissertation discusses the problem of lexical indicators of the hypothetical modality to be observed in Polish and Lithuanian. To begin with, the definition of the hypothetical modality along with its paraphrase has been formed. Furthermore, the gradational character of the category has been analyzed. There have been distinguished six groups of lexemes, which express particular degrees of the hypothetical modality – ranging from that expressing the trace of uncertainty (minimal degree of probability) to that expressing almost complete certainty (maximum degree of probability). The resemblances and differences between the languages have been noticed. In the research area, the method of contemporary contrastive studies utilizing the interlanguage and the experimental Polish-Lithuanian corpus have been applied. Лексические средства гипотетической модальности в польском и литовском языкахВ статье описывается проблема лексических показателей гипотетической модальности в польском и литовском языках. В самом начале представляется содержание категории гипотетической модальности и ее парафраза (экспликaция). Затем описываются особенности этой категории как изменение по степеням возможности. Выделяются шесть групп лексем, которые связаны с разными степенями возможности. Первая группа связана с лексемами, выражающими легкую возможность, последняя же группа включает лексемы, которых степень возможности приближается к единице (истине, полной уверенности говорящего). Обращается внимание на сходства и различия между сопоставляемыми языками. В исследованиях используются (а) современный метод сопоставления языков – метод теоретического сопоставления естественных языков с использованием так называемого языка-посредника (tertium comparationis), (б) данные экспериментального польско-литовского корпуса.

The meaning of bilingual corpora in the Polish-Lithuanian comparative studiesIn his article, the author compares and contrasts the results of his own research on the hypothetical modality in Polish and Lithuanian: a) carried out together with Danuta Roszko, using the traditional method (without use of bilingual corpora in the 90s); b) with use of parallel Polish-Lithuanian corpora resources. As for the contrast of the two methods, special attention has been drawn to the lexical exponents singled out. The use of the corpora resources resulted in the fact that the number of exponents of hipothetical modality singled out in the two languages has slightly risen. Moreover, the borders between the corresponding groups of exponents have become more distinct and obvious. There has been confirmed a possibility of using the corresponding groups of exponents to express the meanings of the adjacent groups. The conclusion has been drawn that this phenomenon is as obvious now as it was earlier expected (in studies without use of bilingual corpora). The separate analysis of corpora resources with the division into the material being a) mutual Polish-Lithuanian translations (i.e. from Polish into Lithuanian and vice versa) and b) translations into Polish and Lithuanian from third languages (here: from German, English or Russian) does not significantly influence the number and diversity of the lexical exponents applied in the two languages. This fact proves a high competence of the translators. The formal resemblance of some of the Polish and Lithuanian exponents does not have a significant influence on which form to choose in the target language. In the translations from Polish into Lithuanian, part of the lexical exponents are conveyed with morphological exponents (lack of such in Polish). The hypothetical modality understated in Polish is sometimes clarified in translations into Lithuanian with the help of morphological forms. In some translations from Lithuanian into Polish the total omission of meanings (also the hypothetical) can be noticed, which results from applying the Lithuanian modus relativus forms. In several cases where some Lithuanian-Polish divergences in translations from Lithuanian into Polish have been noticed, a preliminary comparison of a Lithuanian original material and its translation into Russian can suggest that despite the confirmed direction of translation (from Lithuanian into Polish), it can indeed be a translation from Russian into Polish. However, proving this hypothesis requires the establishing of a trilingual Polish-Lithuanian-Russian corpora for the selected material to allow systematic and consistent studies in this direction. The author gives statistical data for the Polish-Lithuanian lexical exponents of hypothetical modality to distinguish between the mutual translations (Polish-Lithuanian) and those of third languages.

Lexical indicators of the hypothetical modality in the Lithuanian local dialect of Puńsk with references to Polish and Lithuanian.The dissertation discusses the problem of lexical indicators of the hypothetical modality in the Lithuanian local dialect of Puńsk. The Lithuanian local dialect of Puńsk is used by the Lithuanians living in the north-east regions of Poland. In these very regions there run important ethnic borders between Slavs and Balts, and between the Eastern and the Western groups of Slavs. The author has applied the method of theoretical contrastive studies to characterize the local dialect of Puńsk. To begin with, the author forms the definition of the hypothetical modality along with its paraphrase. She analyzes the gradation of the hypothetical modality phenomenon. Therefore, she has distinguished 6 groups, each of which is characterized by a different degree of probability. Furthermore, she gives examples of all possible indicators of the hypothetical modality in the local dialect: lexical, morphological and syntactic, where lexical indicators are more precisely described. She has distinguished the differences and resemblances between the local dialect and the literary languages of Lithuanian and Polish. In the research area, she applies the experimental corpus of the local dialect of Puńsk. Лексические средства гипотетичности в литовском говоре окрестностей Пунска в сопоставлении с польским и литовским языкамиВ статье описывается проблема лексических показателей гипотетической модальности в литовском говоре окрес тностей Пунска. На литовском говоре окрестностей Пунска говорят литовцы проживающие на северо-востоке Польши. Именно там, на этой территории, многие столетия пересекаются этнические границы между славянами и балтами, между западными и восточными славянами. В статье используется метод теоретического сопоставления естественных языков с использованием так называемого языка-посредника (tertium comparationis). В самом начале представлено содержание категории гипотетической модальности и ее парафраза. Затем описывается изменение по степеням возможности и в связи с тем выделяются шесть групп, которые постепенно отражают повышение возможности, уверенности говорящего к высказываемому им самим содержанию. В описании гипотетической модальности упоминаются лексические, морфологические и синтаксические средства выражения гипотетических значений. Более точно описываются лексические средства. Обращается внимание на сходства и различия между говором и польским и литовским языками. В исследованиях используются данные экспериментального корпуса говора окрестностей Пунска.

Semantic contrastive linguistics theory and dialectological studiesTheoretical contrastive studies (hereinafter referred to as TCS) emerged with a view to compare and contrast natural languages on the basis of a logical interlanguage. The idea of making the TCS guidelines available to science resulted in discontinuing the division into the original language and the target language when comparing and contrasting two (or more languages), and at the same time, terminating the dependence of the resulting material (i.e. form indexes in the target language) on the formal structures in the original language. The TCS essence is included in the interlanguage, which is used as tertium comparationis in the studies. To get more on this topic see Koseska, Korytkowska, R. Roszko (2007). Till now, TCS have not been applied in dialectal studies. There are a lot of reasons for this conjuncture. First of all, dialectal studies usually concentrate on one code (i.e. only a single local dialect is being specified), whilst in TCS, a comparison and contrast between (at least two) languages is provided. Moreover, research on the dialectal differentiation of a specific language (i.e. at least two dialects (/ local dialects) are being specified together) is based on demonstrating the features shared and differentiated on the level of (a) lexis, (b) morphology (most often narrowed to demonstrate differential morphological features) and (c) syntactic (relatively most rarely). Thus, dialectal studies are essentially a description of the formal conjuncture, whereas semantic aspects are out of the area of researchers interest. With this article, I am going to break the current patterns and prove that dialectal studies can be conducted in accordance with the TCS guidelines. The advantage of such dialectal studies is not only a different/new look at a specific local dialect, but also a possibility of an instant comparison and contrast between the local dialect and the standardized language or other local dialects (of one language or another) on the semantic level providing the highest standard of the relevances demonstrated (i.e. similarities and differences).

В статье автор сопоставляет результаты двух научных исследований по гипотетической модальности – в польском и литовском языках: (а) традиционных исследований и (б) современных, в которых используются цифровые ре­сурсы (здесь экспериментальный польско-литовский параллельный корпус). Описание гипотетической категории модальности основывается на мето­де теоретического сопоставления естественных языков с использованием так называемого языка-посредника (tertium comparationis). Выделяется 6 степеней вероятности (здесь возможности) и соответственно – 6 параллельных групп средств выражения гипотетичности в обоих языках. Использование параллельного корпуса в исследовании гипотетичности приводит к новым фактам. Количество показателей гипотетичной модальности оказывается неcкoлько выше, чем это было установлено в ходе традиционного исследования (вручную). Следующее, цифровые ресурсы подтверждают пред­ложение об использовании показателей данной группы вероятности/возмож­ности для выражения значений соседних групп, хотя во время проведения традиционных исследований ожидалось бóльшее число использования средств одной группы для выражения соседних степеней вероятности. Проведенный oтдельно анализ ресурсов корпуса, материал которых вы­бран по исходному языку оригинала: (корпус А) литовского языка, (корпус Б) польского языка, (корпус В) другого языка (напр. английского, португальско­го, немецкого, русского) показал, что только в одном случае установленных польско-литовских эквивалентных групп показателей гипотетичности замет­но меньшее количество и разновидность тех же групп. Речь идет о корпусе А, в котором исходным для перевода является литовский язык. Установлено также, что в переводе с литовского на польский язык литов­ские формы модус релятивус (modus relativus) обычно не переводятся. В таких случаях польский перевод теряет исконную модальную характеристику, разве что в оригинале формам modus relativus сопутствуют другие лексические или синтаксические показатели модальности. В некотoрых случаях отсутствие се­мантического соответствия между литовским оригиналом и польским текстом допускает предпосылку непoсредственного перевода c русского (a не литов­ского) на польский язык. Чтобы это доказать, нужен трехъязычный литовско‑польско‑русский корпус (ограниченный избранными исконно литовскими произведениями и их переводaми на польский и русский языки). В статье корпусные данные сопоставляются с литовско-польским слова­рем. Оказывается, что предлагаемые автором словаря литовско-польские соот­ветствия лишь в небольшой степени подтверждаются цифровыми ресурсами польско-литовского корпуса.
