Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Developed within the frame of cognitive and typological linguistics, the present study examines the taxonomical
status of the lexemes i and z in Polish. To achieve this aim, the author analyzes the compliance of the
two forms with the prototype of coordinate-hood and the structure of their maps of polyfunctionality. The
evidence demonstrates that i is a canonical instantiation of the category of coordinate-hood while z is less
canonical. Additionally, the two lexemes yield different maps of polyfunctionality (with distinct prototypicality
nuclei), which reflects their distinct diachronic and conceptual origin. The map of i radiates from the
value of ‘also’ while the map of z radiates from a comitative sense.
This article – the last in a series of two – completes the presentation of the empirical evidence and interprets
it within the adopted framework. The degrees of canonicity of i and z are determined and the semantic-functional
maps of the two lexemes are compared.
