OPIS
“The monograph deals with the tense-aspect constructions in English clauses and their Polish renditions in view of conceptual semantics and pragmatics. The accurate explanations of the differences between the grammatical and lexical aspects of situations described in the selected English sentences and
their translatable Polish versions are thoroughly presented by the author. The differences concern in particular the perfect and the progressive aspects in English and the lack of corresponding aspects in Polish. That is why Polish has to transfer relevant English constructions grammatically.”
