L’idea del passato nel passato in italiano e in polacco: il trapassato prossimo ed i suoi equivalenti semantici polacchi

The idea of the past in the past: the trapassato prossimo tense and its semantic equivalents in Polish

The article is dedicated to a comparative analysis of Verb’s grammar tenses in both Polish and Italian language. The essay examines the methods of expressing the dimension of the pluperfect tense (Italian trapassato prossimo) in the modern Polish language. Except only few verbs which maintained their pluperfect form, Polish as a language has evolved towards the phenomenon of lexicalization, which is possible to describe as replacing grammar constructions with lexical tools.
