Kognitywna interpretacja najnowszych złożeń z powtarzalnym w serii wyrazów członem związanym (na przykładach z języka polskiego i bułgarskiego)

Abstract

Cognitive interpretation of newest compounds with a bound component repetitive in a series of words (on the examples from Polish and Bulgarian languages) In this article I have made an attempt to show selected cognitive aspects of newest compounds with a bound component repetitive in a series of words, on the example of nearly a dozen expressions from Polish and Bulgarian languages. I have reflected on a problem whether all compounds of such type are entitled to a status of a language unit and I have stated that only few compound structures with a high degree of establishment in the consciousness of language users have such status. I have also pointed out the usefulness of cognitive methods of interpretation of meaning of a word type under discussion. I think an approach especially worth using is encyclopedic semantics, taking into consideration all domains of knowledge and experience, as well as presentation of the conceptualizer’s perspective, allowing, among others, to interpret the profiled opinion, sometimes included in the very formation of a word, or otherwise, updating itself in a specific context.
