Językowa kreacja Stefana Więckowskiego w opowiadaniu "Ostatni żołnierz Rzeczypospolitej" Eugeniusza Paukszty
Linguistic creation of Stefan Więckowski in the short story "The Last Soldier of the Republic of Poland" by Eugeniusz Paukszta

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present the linguistic creation of Stefan Więckowski in the short story The LastSoldier of the Republic of Poland by Eugeniusz Paukszta. Lexemes, word combinations and stylisticfigures, forming a linguistic portrait of the main character, were extracted from the analyzed storyand subsequently underwent semantic stratification according to the modified proposal of TeresaSkubalanka to reveal: the character’s names, appearance, behaviour and emotions. The analysisof the language material shows that the repertoire of names is not extensive; however, by usingthem, the writer characterizes Więckowski as an individual who performs two life roles: a soldierand a man. The identity of the character is reflected through his participation in the domestic(his, man), local (comrade) and national (Pole) community circles.
