“Na dokładkę nog even dit.” Overeenkomsten en verschillen tussen de classificaties van partikels in de Poolse en in de Nederlandse traditie van partikelstudie

The aim of this paper is to present the characterisation of the category of Dutch and Polish particles and to compare the taxonomy of particles in Dutch and Polish linguistics. This article also provides an overview of approaches to particles taken in both linguistics areas with the aim of identifying their convergent points and suggesting a framework for a contrastive analysis. It appears that the specific relation between distinguished subcategories of particles in Dutch and Polish and the commensurability between the counterparts of individual particles in these two languages remain to be discerned but the findings made so far for both languages are significant and comparable enough to establish a basis for further contrastive research.The aim of this paper is to present the characterisation of the category of Dutch and Polish particles and to compare the taxonomy of particles in Dutch and Polish linguistics.
