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.
