Opis teorii aspektu według Stanisława Karolaka na przykładzie języków polskiego i francuskiego

Abstract

The subject of this paper are the assumptions of Stanisław Karolak’s semantic aspect theory. The concept is based on the combination of grammatical morpheme value and the value of verb lexeme, which makes it possible to be applied not only to contrastive analysis of two typologically different languages, for example Polish and French, but also to be used for universal description of aspect. The indices of aspect in French and Polish are significantly different. The system of aspectual pairs in Polish contrasts with grammatical tenses in French, but the semantic theory applied in the work allows to create a precise description of the tense-aspect systems in both languages.
