Wpływy czeskie w kształtowaniu się polskich wykładników intensyfikacji
Czech influences in the formation of the Polish exponents of intensification

Summary/Abstract: The article describes Polish exponents of intensification of Czech origin. The detailed analysis includes intensifiers which are equivalents of Old Bohemian přieliš, i.e. bezlisz, brzezlisz, przelisz, przezlisz and przylisz, the expression na porząd and the unit wielmi. The paper focuses on their origin, meaning, text frequency, scope of use in ancient texts and functioning in the history of Polish. The analysis shows that the above-mentioned Bohemisms existed mainly in Old Polish and in the 16th century, which was a time when the Polish literature was developing under the Czech influence. The influence of the Czech language on the development of Polish exponents of intensification was not strong. This is evidenced by the low frequency of the analyzed forms in the few monuments of the Polish language of that period.
