The present paper is devoted to the problem of repetition as a means of expressing emotions on the syntax level in Russian and in Polish. Not only individual lexemes can be repeated, but also phrases with the predicative function or even whole sentences. The number of repetitions may also vary – double ones are most common in both languages under investigation, multiple ones are rare in the data. Triple repetitions are relatively popular only in the Russian material. Repetitions are usually accompanied by other means of expressing emotions: exclamatory intonation, particles, emotional exclamations, comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs, comparisons, etc.
The article deals with the issues of Russian and Polish parceled constructions. Parceling occurs on the level of simple sentence as well as on the level of compound sentence. Different types of Russian parceled constructions taken from the Boris Akunin’s novel The Turkish Gambit and their Polish counterparts have been discussed. The contrastive anlysis shows that there are many similarities between Russian and Polish parceled constructions.
