Abstract:
The dissertation is devoted to the analysis of the lexical field associated with the notion of ‘wina’ (‘fault’). The lexemes belonging to the field constitute a major part of ethical vocabulary. However, it seems that the notion of ‘wina’ (‘fault’) has not been given proper attention in the Polish linguistics. The aim of my dissertation is to bridge this gap by providing a complete, monographic description of the semantics of ‘wina’ (‘fault’) in the contemporary Polish language.
