O nieostrości granic słowotwórczych kategorii werbalnych w gwarach
About flexibility of verbal categories word-formation limits in dialects

Summary/Abstract: The notion of word-formation is still the subject of discussions among linguists, because, due to its ambiguity, it is still insufficiently defined. Lack of clarity of word-formation category is considered to be one of the reasons of inter-categorical, semantic shifts. This subject has been often readily taken in reference to a noun on the folk basis, whereas, in reference to a verb, probably due to marginal treatment of this part of speech in description of folk word-formation, has remained unexplored. This dissertation discusses the issue of overlapping word-formation categories of significance ranges within the scope of folk verbs. It is also an attempt to indicate possible causes of this phenomenon.
