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.
