Description
Summary:In the paper I discuss content explication processes in sentences expressing the causal relation in Bulgarian and Polish. The work implements the model of theoretical contrastive studies with a semantic interlanguage. I focus on condensation processes in the causal position. Apart from phenomena well-known in the literature, such as nominalization and pronominalization/prosententialization, I highlight the “articlization” of the propositional argument, in which the latter is compressed to the form of the Bulgarian definite article. Equivalent constructions with demonstrative pronouns as modifiers in the adnominal position in some compound pronouns are also presented.
