On semantic derivation of lexical units
On semantic derivation of lexical units

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses a stage in the development and refinement of a semantic model1 of a comparative word formation research of Polish and Bulgarian. The research is a part of a general comparative (contrastive) description of the two languages, within The Bulgarian-Polish Comparative Grammar, in which the basis and the starting point for comparison is the mediator-language, comprising semantic units (categories) and rules of their connections (relations between them.)2 The basic postulate in the above mentioned work is assumed to be the presence of a structural isomorphism between the language units sentence and lexeme, i.e. the same combinatorial rules license both the combinations of lexemes within the sentence and the combinations of morphemes within the lexeme.
