This monograph presents a contrastive-corpus analysis of the semantic category of gratification. It takes as a case study the verb reward and its various forms in Polish and in English, as prototypical of the semantics of gratification. The study, set predominantly in the framework of semantic syntax, and drawing from the theory of valence and frame semantics, adopts a corpus-driven and usage-based approach to language analysis. By exploring the syntactic realization and distribution of arguments opened by the predicates of gratification in the two languages, the book offers new insights into language representation in English and Polish, and addresses the combinatoricity of human thought and cognitive mechanisms reflected in the lexicalization patterns of the situation of rewarding.



The monograph presents a contrastive-corpus analysis of the semantic category of gratification. By exploring the syntactic realization and distribution of arguments opened by the predicates, the book demonstrates the asymmetry between the semantic and syntactic levels showing multidimensional relations between the predicate and its complements.
