Czy stopień przymiotnika jest w języku polskim kategorią fleksyjną?
Streszczenie
The article deals with the controversial problem of the position of adjective
comparison in the morphological description of Polish. The morphological
structure of these adjective forms ia more complicated than the
structure of noun decclension forms. Despite this, morphemes of comparison
case may be treated as inflexional, since the function of a particular grammatical
category is the criterium of the inflexional character of morphemes.
The author speaks in favour of the inflexional character of adjective comparison
forms on the basis of the following theoretical findings:
1) the three case forms are produced from a large number of adjectives»
2) the comparison case differentiates the paradigms of corresponding lexemes
in a complete and identical ways
3) the categories - positive, comparative, superlative - determine oppositional
sub-sets within the whole set of adjective forms understood as one
lexeme.
Some irregular cases, morphologically similar to comparison cases should
be treated by dictionaries as inflexional. Inflexional forms can be found
only in one-word synthetic forms, analytic forms should be treated as sentence
constructions consisting of two different word forms (adjective + adverb).
