Aspect - 1
Can express • change of state, • end, limit, boundary • temporal extent. They are sufficient to distinguish four main
classes, namely, state, process, protracted event and momentaneous event (Filip 2011)

Aspect - 2
1a. Vesuvius erupted three times TELIC 1b. John slept (*) three times last night. ATELIC 2a. Vesuvius erupted (*) a lot). TELIC 2b. John slept a lot last night. ATELIC
(Filip 2011: 723)
Aspect is incorporated across the sentence, even the subject must be compatible with verb aspect and adverbials

Aspect in Polish (from a cognitive perspective)
• Specifies the temporal structre of a situation (Radden and Dirven 2007: 171-174)
• Perfective in Polish: temporally bounded • Imperfective in Polish: temporally unbounded
(Kochańska 2007: 156-157) • Perfectivizing prefixes: po-, na-, wy-, ob-, do- • Imperfectivizing suffixes: -a, -y/iwa, -wa

Grammaticalization
• A type of language change, where the form-meanings pairings undergo a change (Traugott 2011:11)
• Static perspective: focus on the synchronic product of the grammaticalization process
• Mechanisms of grammaticalisation (Heine 2003: 579): – Semantic bleaching (heavy > light prefixes) – Loss of morphosyntactic properties (adverbs>
prepositions > prefixes) – Phonetic reduction – Context generalization (collocational similarity with the
unprefixed verb)

Tests for the degree of grammaticalisation
• Secondary imperfectivisation (Karcevski 1927):
• myślał (IMPERF1) – pomyślał (PERF) ‐ *pomyśliwał (IMPERF2)
• myślał (IMPERF1) – wymyślił (PERF) – wymyślał (IMPERF2)
• Number of verb types a given prefix takes (Łaziński 2011: 233):
• z‐ (780), za‐ (366), o‐ (280), wy‐ (231), po‐ (197), u‐ (171), na‐ (61), prze‐ (30), roz‐ (21)
• Double prefix combinations (Łaziński 2011), eg. po-wy-myślał
• po‐ (13), na‐ (12), z‐ (6), other prefixes 1‐4

Canonical Event Model
• Participants: Agent and Patient • Setting: Adverbs
Langacker, 1999: 24-25)

MCS: Measure of collocational similarity
• M = Number of shared collocates / Number of all collocates of the prefixed verb
• The closer the ratio of shared complements between the un-prefixed and prefixed verb is to 1, the higher the degree of the grammaticalisation of the prefix.
• Degree of semantic bleaching is correlated with the context generalization understood as the number of shared collocates representing subject (Agent), complement (Patient), adverbs (setting)

the National Corpus of the Polish Language NKJP
• Balanced subsection: 240, 000, 000 • 90% written 10% spoken (but...)
– 50% of the corpus– press, – 30% books, – 10% the Internet and other – 10% spoken (parliamentary debates, TV shows,
private conversations
• Balanced: none of the text types constitutes more than 50% of the corpus (Górski – Łaziński 2012: 30)
• PELCRA search engine (Pęzik 2012) • POLIQARP (Górski 2012)

• MCS Subject: prze- > wy- > po- • MCS Objects: po- > prze- > wy- • MCS Adverbs: wy- > prze- > po-

Questions, Problems, Conclusions
• Method: – How to calculate Proper Names? If at all? – Introduce the cut-of threshold or not?
• Abstraction – Conflicting results of Subject, Object, Adverb MCS – Combined MCS levels out the significant differences
• Conclusion: The assessment of the degree of grammaticalization of aspectual prefixes at the Universal level (Zlatev, plenary) can differ from the assessment at Situated level, where the degree of grammaticalization crucially depends on the interaction of aspect, Subect, Complement and Adverb
