The talk discusses the meaning of a form called L-participle in the second edition of the Polish novel "Król Obojga Sycylii" by A. Kuśniewicz (Kuśniewicz, 1972), published in 1972. The traditional definition of L-participle is the following: a common Slavic verbal adjective, formed from a main stem of the verb and a suffix -l- that tends to appear in the contexts that denote past (Lunt, 2001, p.109). The contextual senses of L-participle in Slavic languages in general have been a subject of discussion in the last decades (for the comprehensive overview, see (Bláha, 2020)), especially its usage in the context not related to the past ((Benić, 2024), for the comprehensive overview see (Mirić, 2020)). However, even among the works that made attempts at semantic analysis of L-participle (Proeme, 1991), there were none that entertained monosemic hypotheses, the ones that would explain the distribution of the L-participle across all of the contexts, and not only subset of them. This is especially relevant for L-participle in Polish, which is used in a variety of situations, including past, present and future contexts. The talk is an attempt at explaining this, presenting a monosemic account of an L-participle in A. Kuśniewicz’s "Król Obojga Sycylii".
