Gwara jako tworzywo tekstów literackich (analiza językowa wybranych utworów pisarzy regionalnych z czeskiej części śląska Cieszyńskiego)
Dialect as a constituent of literary texts (linguistic analysis of selected works by regional writers from the Czech part of the Cieszyn Silesia region)

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to analyse dialect stylisation of literary texts written by authors from the Czech part of Cieszyn Silesia. This analysis was grounded in linguistic (stylistic) theories of hierarchical language and text structure. The article brings definitional and terminological considerations relating to the subject of stylisation as well as the results of a study of authentic linguistic material. From the point of view of stylistic analysis, the division of local authors into members of the Polish minority and those who belong to the Czech-speaking majority is important. It turns out that the dialect in the works of Polish authors serves, among other things, as an exponent of Polishness and, in the case of Czech authors, it is a kind of advertisement for the region, hitherto rather unnoticed by Czechs from other parts of the Czech Republic. The literature under study deserves to be highlighted for its thematic originality and for its linguistic stylisation. The cultural, social or regional embedding of the plot has a unique character, resulting from the unique history of Cieszyn Silesia. This text offers a rich exemplification of the conclusions formulated by the authors whose analysis is a linguistic voice in the discussion of the specific cultural situation of the Czech part of Cieszyn Silesia.
