Zmiany w stosowaniu przyimków z nazwą Ukraina na podstawie danych korpusowych
Changes in the Use of Prepositions with the Name Ukraine in Polish: A Corpus-Based Study

Summary/Abstract: The Russian attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2022 initiated a change of preference for the new syntax w Ukrainie/do Ukrainy in the place of the old and significantly more common na Ukrainie/na Ukrainę. The change was confirmed in the MoncoPL corpus. Over a period of 3 years, the corpus data showed a strengthening position of the new syntax. However, the conducted research confirmed the existence of editorial policies on the use of prepositions with the name Ukraine with some publishers. This fact may have influenced the obtained results, as the corpus material is based on edited texts. The linguistic data extracted from unedited source (posts on portal X) confirm the initial growth of uses with the syntax w Ukrainie, but do not confirm the upward trend of this change. It is, therefore, not possible to conclude that there has been a change with respect to the use of prepositions with the name Ukraine, and future research should also take into account unedited sources.
