  About the types of expressions ___. (To) Nonsens. (vs to nonsens, że_) from a semantic point of view

• Description:
  The range of this article is slightly wider then its title suggests. I develop here the idea  which I have initiated in a few of my earlier papers about the expression nonsens and some of its synonyms. I am mainly interested in a certain type of configuration, where the words nonsens, absurd and bzdura appear, for example in the sentence Marysia uciekła wczoraj z ostatniej lekcji. To nonsens! / Nonsens ‘Mary skipped her last class yesterday. This is nonsense! / Nonsense.’ I investigate the grammatical status of the expression nonsens in such contexts, which I have called commenting ones, but primarily I am focused on what determines the difference between the example given above and a sentence such as To nonsens, że Marysia uciekła wczoraj z ostatniej lekcji ‘This is nonsense that Mary skipped her last class yesterday’. I examine whether the difference has a semantic character and if so, how it should be defined. Since the procedure of comparing the expressions which follow the model given in the title opens more problems, which I have described in earlier papers, in this article I investigate the issues which I have so far only implied or examined marginally with relation to other crucial aspects of nonsense, such as the issue of metalinguistic character of the described expressions.
