https://doi.org/10.4467/20834624SL.12.002.0591The present article rectifies a noticeable lacuna in the analysis of the Mandinka verbal system and offers a detailed discussion of the meaning of the KAŊ locution (i.e. of the analytical expression be + infinitive + kaŋ) as well as a presentation of its most relevant structural properties. First, the author demonstrates that there are no structural or contextual restrictions on the use of the formation. It may be employed in all kinds of environments: transitive and intransitive or affirmative and negative. It likewise tolerates various types of roots, admitting dynamic, static and adjectival predicates. Second, in respect to the semantic content, although the progressive value of the periphrasis clearly predominates various refinements are necessary. The progressive meaning – limited to the present and past temporal sphere – can also be also portrayed as repeated and frequentative. Adjectival predicates are invariably employed with a dynamic transitory-ingressive force. However, certain static verbs employed in the KAŊ form regularly denote continuous situations. Additionally, the periphrasis may indicate general, durative and extended in time activities, corresponding to Indo-European simple tenses. Finally, it also appears with the force of an inclusive perfect.

https://doi.org/10.4467/20834624SL.13.001.1132The present study – divided into two papers – provides an analysis of the semantics of the Vilamovicean verbal system within a cognitive and grammaticalization framework. On the one hand, the author offers a detailed description of the entire semantic potential of all the verbal constructions available in the language and, on the other, provides an explanation for the senses conveyed by each one of these forms – more specifically, it is demonstrated that the semantic sphere of every gram can be explained and, hence, unified by making use of typologically common evolutionary scenarios, viz. paths. Consequently, the author shows that the entire Vilamovicean verbal system can be modeled as a recursive process of grammaticalisation “waves” whereby older and newer forms evolve along a set of identical paths. This article constitutes the first part of the series. It includes a discussion of methodological issues and an empirical study in which the semantic potentials of all the Vilamovicean verbal grams are determined.

https://doi.org/10.4467/23005920SPL.15.003.3560Artykuł jest analizą statusu języka wilamowskiego z punktu widzenia kontaktu językowego. Sociolingwistyczne tło tego etnolektu, jego leksykon oraz gramatyka pozwalają na sklasyfikowanie wilamowszczyzny jako germańsko-słowiańskiego języka mieszanego, stosunkowo zaawansowanego na skali języków mieszanych. Chociaż wilamowski wywodzi się z rodziny germańskiej i większa część jego cech jest nadal typowo germańska, zbliżył się on znacznie do języków słowiańskich pod wpływem długiego i intensywnego kontaktu z językiem polskim
