Tym bardziej i co dopiero – próba rozróżnienia znaczeń

The article presents two particles belonging to the group of so-called reinforcing particles. It presents an analysis both from formal and semantical points of view. It is discussed for example whether tym bardziej że should be considered as a language unit or as a composition of the particle tym bardziej and że. The Author chooses the two particles to prove the thesis on non-identity of meanings in the group of particles. Examination of TRS in which both particles can appear, especially a relation between what has been said (a pretext) and a rhema commented by a particle, shows that tym bardziej and co dopiero do not participate in identical structures, i.e. do not have identical meaning. The former is seen as affirming the truthfulness on what is being said basing on truthfulness of what has been said earlier. The latter on the other hand is used to deny untruthfulness of what is being said basing on what has been said earlier.status: publishe
