Contrastive-typological approach to the study of polysemy and complementation systems

Sažetak
The paper considers the value of contrastive-typological approach to the study of polysemy. It is shown that this approach fails to provide a neat means of distinguishing between intralingual polysemy and homonymy. However, it brings to light a number of interesting cross-linguistic differences in the spread of both lexical and syntactic polysemy: there is a general tendency for predicates to have several alternative valency frames attached to a single morphological form in languages with a widespread lexical polysemy (e.g. in English), whereas languages like Croatian and Hungarian that seem to have semantically narrower lexemes, i.e. less lexical polysemy, tend to employ a variety of strategies (“suppletion”, prefixation, suffixation, etc.) to keep their predicate-argument structures apart.
