Polnisch-deutsche Valenzkontraste im Bereich der Bewegungsverben

The contrastive view of the valency of two languages is always a source of important information which could be used both in grammar and in didactics and translation. The following article shows differences in semantic valency between Polish and German motion verbs. The different levels of their semantic restrictions are described and compared as well as differences in semantic roles. The study also gives information about the semantic content of verbs when divergence occurs.
