On the Notion of Loss. The Semantic Analysis of Selected Verb Units
The monograph discusses the problem of explicating the meanings of verb units represented by stracić (lose) and semantically related expressions, including zmarnować (waste), przepuścić, roztrwonić (squander). The author also examines the properties of the related verb mieć (have) and describes the operations to which these units are subjected. The analysis is based on Andrzej Boguslawski’s theory of language units and on the assumption of the existence of undefined concepts (as Anna Wierzbicka puts it) which are the component of complex concepts.
Keywords: reductive semantics, syntax, language units, semantic representation, unit operations.
