THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORD-FORMATION AND SYNTAX IN TEACHING POLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. PART 1: THEORETICAL PRELIMINARIES

Summary/Abstract: This paper is the first of two devoted to teaching word-formation, based on the existing correlations between derivation and syntax. This kind of knowledge has proved to be essential for building longer structures and performing stylistic operations on texts. Information on the syntactic inheritance of derived language units is scattered throughout the literature, however, making it difficult for teachers and students to grasp the actual range and regularity of this phenomenon. This article, based on formal structural grammar methods, systemises this data and shows the various degrees of syntactic inheritance, ranging from identical syntactic structures, which inherit only part of the syntactic properties of the base, to a complete change of valency. It also points to the fact that the range of syntactic analogy is, to some extent, predictable, depending on the part of speech and on the word-formation mechanism.
