A comment on the term “functional expressions”
The goal of the paper is to verify a set of expressions which should be considered functional. Accepting M. Grochowski’s 1997 general characterization of functional expressions relating to the semanticsyntactic plane, the present author also upholds, from 1995, that the term “functional expression” ought to apply as well to expressions which fulfill auxiliary roles in the creation of the formal syntactic structure of utterances. These are those components of multi-word linguistic units which are bereft of individual meaning, and are synonymous with semantically full lexemes belonging to various parts of speech, primarily adverbs, conjunctions, inflected and uninflected relators, but also verbs in so-called periphrastic (verbal-nominal) expressions.
