Jabłońska (2004): When the Prefixes Meet the Suffixes #
This file formalizes [Jab04], the account of the readings of the Polish prefix po-
as a function of the verbalizer it attaches to. The verbalizer classes of Table 1 and Table 2
(Verbalizer) each carry an Aktionsart profile (Verbalizer.profile) and a continuum for
po- to measure along, (40): the run time of a process, the scale of a gradable property, (16),
or a path, (55). A derivation stacks the four prefix positions of (41) and the Secondary
Imperfective as layers (Layer) over a stem, each merging only when its selectional
requirement is met (Layer.merge), and well-formedness (WellFormed) and perfectivity
(Perfective) are read off the resulting profile. The seven shapes of a well-formed derivation
(wellFormed_iff) yield the paper's generalizations: stacking is contingent on the Secondary
Imperfective (si_of_asp3), a purely perfectivizing prefix stacks with nothing (eq_of_perf),
only the interval-denoting classes form Secondary Imperfectives (denotesInterval_of_si), and
the stacking generalization of [Sve04] follows (wellStacked). The readings of po-
follow from the continuum and the boundaries of the stem (Asp1Reading, Asp3Reading) and
reproduce Table 2 (asp1Reading_iff_table2). The attested forms are analysed (attested) and
the starred ones excluded (starred_not_wellFormed).
Implementation notes #
- The Aktionsart profile of a bare stem is atelic throughout, the paper's unbounded bare stem; the semelfactive is the punctual class and the stative the non-dynamic one. The continuum, the telos and the adjectival base are the paper's own parameters.
- The semelfactive suffix values [uPerf] against Asp1, (47): a bare semelfactive is perfective,
and a purely perfectivizing prefix over it is a vacuous viewpoint shift, (70), which Table 2
hedges as "yes ???" (
wellFormed_perf_iff). A lexical prefix on a semelfactive stays possible in principle, (79a) and fn. 20. - With directed motion stems the purely perfectivizing position is filled by do- or przy-, Table 2 fn. c; the model records these stems as lacking a telos of their own.
- The "considerable change" reading is confined to -ej- stems: fn. 22 records that inchoative -n- stems lack it without deriving the gap. The inceptive za- of (53) reads an -ej- stem as a state and is recorded as a row only.

Instances For
Merging a layer over a bare stem of class v with profile p, when the layer's selectional
requirement is met. A lexical prefix needs a Result phrase, (72); po- in Asp1 needs a
continuum, (40); both value [uPerf] against Asp1 and cannot co-occur, (42). A purely
perfectivizing prefix in Asp2 needs a telos and an unbounded predicate, since a second Reference
Time AFTER the first is a vacuous viewpoint shift, (70), which also bars it from a semelfactive,
(47). The Secondary Imperfective selects a delimited interval, (32) and (66), in the Asp2 slot,
(68). po- in Asp3 selects a [-Perf] predicate, (25), whose iterated subevents are S-summable,
(36), which requires each to be a change of state of its participant, (37) and (61).

The seven shapes of a well-formed derivation: a bare stem; a lexical prefix, (30); po- in Asp1, (27); a purely perfectivizing prefix, (67); a lexically prefixed or Asp1-delimited stem under the Secondary Imperfective, (31a) and (56); and po- in Asp3 over a lexically prefixed Secondary Imperfective, (34).
The paper's generalizations #
A bare stem is perfective exactly when it is a semelfactive, (46).
Stacking is contingent on the Secondary Imperfective, Section 5: po- in Asp3 stacks only over a secondary imperfective, (24) and (42), and never over an attenuative-frequentative, (61).
A purely perfectivizing prefix stacks on nothing and nothing stacks on it, (70): it is in complementary distribution with the Secondary Imperfective, (67), (69) and (68).
Only the interval-denoting classes, the processual and the non-directed motion stems, form Secondary Imperfectives: not the degree achievements, (59) and (74), the inchoatives, (76), the semelfactives, (48) and (79b), the directed motion stems, (80), or the statives.
A lexical prefix and po- in Asp1 both value [uPerf] against Asp1, so they do not co-occur, (42): no Multiple Agree.
po- in Asp3 makes the derivation perfective, (33).
A derivation closed by the Secondary Imperfective is imperfective: the attenuative-frequentative forms, (56) and (64), are imperfectives, and Asp3 po- selects for [-Perf], (25).
The prefix sequence of a derivation, outermost first, under any classification f that
agrees with the lexical/superlexical split, is well-stacked in the sense of [Sve04]:
the superlexical prefix is always outside the lexical one.
Table 2 #
Table 2, Asp2: a purely perfectivizing prefix needs a telos, (10) and (67), which the motion stems and the statives lack, and an unbounded stem, which the semelfactive is not, (47): the cell Table 2 hedges as "yes ???" is closed.

The derived readings of po- in Asp1, with a plural internal argument, are those of Table 2: no delimitative reading with the change-of-state stems, Section 5, and the inceptive reading only with the statives, Section 2.4.
Without a plural internal argument the distributive reading is gone: (28c) has only the delimitative reading, the external argument being outside the scope of po-, (29).

The fragment's dictionary aspect of each analysed stem is the bare-stem perfectivity the model derives: perfective for the semelfactives, imperfective otherwise, (46).
The attested derivations closed by the Secondary Imperfective are imperfective and the rest perfective, by the tests of Section 2.1: (31a) and the attenuative-frequentatives pass the phasal-complement test, (33) and (46) fail it.
