@article{Żabowska_2022, title={Semantics and functions of the so-called expressive jeden}, volume={24}, url={https://czasopisma.uwm.edu.pl/index.php/pj/article/view/7607}, DOI={10.31648/pj.7607}, abstractNote={<p>This paper is concerned with expressive vocabulary, it focuses on Polish the “expressive”<br />word jeden [Pol. ‘one’]. The article refers to discussions on the function of this expression<br />(Mel’čuk and Milićević 2011; Kosek 2020). The undertaken analysis is rooted in the<br />structural semantics, and it investigates the contemporary meaning and function of jeden.<br />The article scrutinizes differences between functions of evaluative nouns and exclamatives,<br />and also between jeden and other expressions, in particular intensifiers. The scrutiny<br />starts from syntactic features of jeden and proceeds to semantic analyses. It is underlined<br />that expressiveness, intensification, predication, and reference are functions of other<br />elements of the sentence rather than of jeden. The findings enable one to make a connection<br />between jeden and the category of anaphora. The paper demonstrates that the so-called<br />expressive component might be analysed as a meaning of a given type of sentence,<br />a meaning of the entire construction, or as a function of the element of the construction.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Prace Językoznawcze}, author={Żabowska, Magdalena}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={187–201} }
