Syntactic and semantic properties of the verb debatować (to debate)

Summary/Abstract: This paper is dedicated to a semantic and syntactic analysis of the lexeme debatować (to debate). The point of departure to the presented discussions is the observation that certain dictionaries suggest the existence of both the relation between debata (a debate) and debatować (to debate) and the synonymity of debatować (to debate) and dyskutować (to discuss). This paper presents arguments speaking for the fact that both the postulated relations are much more complicated. The author focuses on a syntactic analysis in order to make an attempt at confronting the meaning of the lexemes debata and debatować, on the one hand, and debatować and dyskutować, on the other hand. The conclusion to the discussion is the statement that the description of verbs such as debatować or dyskutować goes beyond the discussions regarding the speech of one person and requires consideration for relations between individual utterances forming a macro-dialogue.
