Keywords: Podhale dialect; poetry; metaphor; semantic transformations.

Summary/Abstract: Poetry written in Podhale includes the folk trend together with individualised poetry, presenting asubjective vision of the world, processed by the poet’s sensitivity. The texts attributed to this trend present unconventional poetic metaphors where use is made of stylistic devices purposefully and cre-atively modifying the conventions of the folk style or inspired by other standards. The aim of this arti-cle is to analyse four examples of unconventional poetic metaphors of varying complexity. All of them come from the texts written by contemporary poets from Podhale. With reference to M. Black’s interac-tive theory of metaphor, the semantic transformations of individual dialectical expressions are discussed in order to decipher new meanings.
