Polish Equivalents Of Spatial 'at'
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explicates how English and Polish select different aspects of a spatial situation to express coincidence or proximity. Spatial relations verbalized by different senses of at in English are reflected primarily by means of w, na, przy and u in Polish. First, at is presented as conceptualizing the relation of coincidence or proximity with the whole Landmark (LM) when it is conceived as a point. Then, the Polish prepositions are investigated – how they differ with respect to the specific part of the LM that is involved in a topological relation. Although the prepositions are available to the speakers of the respective languages to render different types of relations, their senses overlap in a complex way.

متن کاملSpatial and Non-spatial Actions of Polish Groups
For locally compact groups all actions on a standard measure algebra have a spatial realization. For many Polish groups this is no longer the case. However, we show here that for non-archimedean Polish groups all measure algebra actions do have spatial realizations. In the other direction we show that an action of a Polish group is whirly (“ergodic at the identity”) if and only if it admits no ...
