Notes on Deagentivity in Polish and Bulgarian Texts

Dimka Savova

Abstract


The paper offers a short summary of the term deagentivity, followed by comparisons between the prototype means for its expression in original texts and their translations into the Polish and Bulgarian languages. Along with the similarities, the author points out the most substantial differences in the semantics and frequency of the means for deagentivity in the two languages.
