How to analyze contextuality of metatextual language units? Notes on the relation: TRS – particle semantics

Abstract

How to analyze contextuality of metatextual language units? Notes on the relation: TRS – particle semantics The presented article is devoted to further (after Kisiel 2010) discussion about contextuality of metatextual language units, especially particles. Having selected contextual particles as an example, the author shows how specific structuralisation of TRS is strictly connected with particle meaning. The observation leads to the conclusion that examination of TRS cannot be avoided when analysing particles. Untangling particles meaning has to be based on describing the TRS they work on. Such a procedure has been only recently applied to Polish lexicography.
