Abstract

On the symbolic unit [ktoś1] dotknął [kogoś2 /czegoś] ‘someone touched somebody/something’. A semantic-cognitive study The paper describes the symbolic unit [ktoś1] dotknął [kogoś2/czegoś] in the cognitive perspective. The starting point for a semantic-cognitive analysis in the present sketch are uses of the phrase excerpted from texts from various registers of contemporary Polish. Importantly, the author describes both concretizations and metaphorical extensions of the prototypical occurrence of the analysed unit. Basing primarily on the assumptions of cognitive grammar, she attempts to reconstruct the mechanisms initiating the emergence of specific uses of the analysed symbolic unit. She conducts an analysis of the senses of the phrase [ktoś1] dotknął [kogoś2/czegoś] within the framework of three domains: 1. physical space, 2. temporal, and 3. mental, and using the theory of image schemas.
