Intra-dialectal diversifi cation in Lesser Poland in the 14th and 15th centuries – on the basis of judicial oath formulas

Summary/Abstract: This paper is based on the material of the judicial oath formulas of the 14th and 15th centuries from the area of central Lesser Poland (Krakowskie region) and northern Lesser Poland (Sandomierskie, Chęcińskie, Radomskie regions). The thesis material was excerpted for the purpose of analysing selected linguistic (mainly phonetic) characteristics of judicial oath formulas from Lesser Poland and fi nding an answer to the question about the pronunciation characteristic of that province in the 14th and 15th centuries as well as about internal diversifi cation of the Lesser Polish dialect. On this basis, it was possible to identify dialectal differences at three levels: characteristics differentiating Lesser Poland from other provinces, differences between central and northern Lesser Poland, and fi nally dialectal pronunciation diversities among people living in northern Lesser Poland – lands only: Sandomierska, Chęcińska and Radomska.
