Czasowniki maksymalnej i nadmiernej efektywności w Narodowym Fotokorpusie Języka Polskiego – rekonesans

The purpose of this article is to analyse the resources of the National Photocorpus of the Polish Language (NFJP) in terms of presence of verbs of maximum and excessive effectiveness. The author endeavours to answer the following questions: 1) which verbs of maximum and excessive effectiveness are recorded by the NFJP, 2) to what extent the verbs recorded in the NFJP are present in the networks of entries in the 19th-century dictionaries of Polish, 3) whether words not recorded in dictionaries of Polish are present in the resources of the National Corpus of Polish (NKJP). The conducted examinations showed that 279 verbs of maximum and excessive effectiveness, including lexemes with prefi xes do-, na-, nad(e)-, o-||ob(e)-, prze-, roz(e)-, u-, wyand za- in their morphological structures and aspectual derivatives, can be found in the NFJP. The analysis evidences that over 15% of verbs have not been recorded in the examined dictionaries of Polish. However, out of 42 verbs, which are unique to the NFJP, 13 words have been found in the NKJP resources. The findings of the study lead to the conclusion that the NFJP could serve as a valuable source for the research on the 20th-century lexis of Polish, e.g. by complementing the knowledge of the vocabulary that is “distributed” in various types of texts and has not been covered by research to this date.
