This predicative construction is composed of a copula (Pol. być, Czech být) and a phrase headed by the temporal preposition po ‘after’. It can be considered resultative because it describes a state which implies a telic event causing this state. The construction is peculiar inasmuch as it does not specify the concrete type of state. It can be ascribed three different meanings distributed over two syntactic variants – one containing a nominatival subject, the other occurring without a subject. Our analysis is based mainly on data from four electronic corpora. We point out convergent and divergent features of Polish and Czech, focusing on facts of distribution and observable lexical input to the construction. In particular, our analysis reveals that in both languages the subjectless variant shows more or less identical productivity, while the variant with a subject is much more productive in Polish than it is in Czech. By the same token, our analysis demonstrates that properties related to distribution and productivity of grammatical constructions can only be explored on the basis of corpora.

Воно було відповіддю на відкритий лист "Нова війна в Європі? Не від нашого імені!", опублікований за тиждень до того німецькою мовою — у газетах Die Zeit і Der Tagesspiegel, а пізніше російською — на сайті inoСМИ.Ru. Останній лист, підписаний рядом широко визнаних колишніх політиків, діячів мистецтва, представників промисловості та суспільних фігур ФРН, став відомим як "Заклик 60 німецьких знаменитостей". У ньому підписанти просили Берлін продовжити свої партнерські відносини з Москвою. Підписанти ж звернення-відповіді — 142 німецьких спеціалісти з питань Східної Європи, базуючись на своїх експертних знаннях, доходять висновку, що Москва відносно України виступає в ролі агресора. Тому вони закликають німецький уряд не жертвувати територіальною цілісністю України, дивитися в обличчя реаліям і не піддаватися ілюзіям стосовно цілей Кремля. Нижче публікується авторизований переклад німецького тексту звернення 142 експертів.

Numerous additional current and former parliamentarians, artists, activists, academics, and interested citizens voiced their support for this appeal as signatures were being collected. Some of the most influential German correspondents on Russia and Ukraine sympathize with the appeal but, for specifically professional reasons, did not add their signatures. The appeal appeared in Zeit Online, Der Standard, and Der Tagesspiegel. The German original appeal can be freely signed, on the site Change.org.

The article deals with a specific resultative construction, which is particularly characteristic for Polish and Czech. This predicative construction is composed of a copula (Pol. być, Czech být) and a phrase headed by the temporal preposition po ‘after’. It can be considered resultative because it describes a state which implies a telic event causing this state. The construction is peculiar inasmuch as it does not specify the concrete type of state. It can be ascribed three different meanings distributed over two syntactic variants – one containing a nominatival subject, the other occurring without a subject. Our analysis is based mainly on data from four electronic corpora.
