OPERATOR ADNUMERATYWNY Z GÓRĄ
An adnumerative operator z górą ‛over’

Summary/Abstract: The lexical unit z górą ‛over’ is representative of both adnumerative operators and markers of approximation with a component ‛more than n’. This unit is pragmatically neutral, in contrast to other colloquial (mainly) elements of the sequence. The investigated unit opens the position, characterized semantically, of definite numeral expressions. The expressions defining the scale of difference between points of time and space are dominant in this position. Numeral expressions which define points of time, age and temperature are probably excluded. The unit z górą is internally inseparable; it is characterized by a linear order which varies in relation to its superordinate element. It can be the rheme of the utterance. The expression z górą is being investigated against the background of other adnumerative operators. There is a relation of exclusion between them.
