Znaczenie Dejnowskiego pojęcia „struktura językowa gwary” w badaniach interferencji językowych na polsko-ukraińskim pograniczu
The meaning of Dejna’s concept of “linguistic structure of dialect” in studies on linguistic interferences on the Polish-Ukrainian borderland

Summary/Abstract: The report consists in a way of two parts. The first part intentionally shows the outline results of Professor Dejna’s detailed studies in dialectography and dialectology which, consequently and after many years, enabled this scholar to formulate the concept of “the linguistic structure of a dialect”, highly significant also for the studies on the Polish-Ukrainian dialects on the linguistic borderland. My studies have shown that this term is especially useful in looking in bilingual dialects for non-systemic structural characteristics which, as a result of interference, were transferred from one primary dialectal system, or system A, into the other system, or system B, thus functioning as specific linguistic innovations in each of the systems. The detailed analysis of the bilingual dialect of Kolechowice has also demonstrated that those non-systemic structural characteristics occur first of all at the level of the phonetic and partly morphological systems except of inflection.
