CIĄGŁOŚĆ I ZMIANA W SKODYFIKOWANEJ NORMIE JĘZYKOWEJ W MINIONYM STULECIU
The continuity and change in the codified language standard in the past century

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents selected types of changes which have occurred in the codified language standard over the past hundred years. They are described based on the material excerpted from dictionaries of proper language use beginning with Słowniczek błędów językowych... (Mini dictionary of language errors…) by A. Passendorfer (1904), and ending with Wielki słownik poprawnej polszczyzny PWN (PWN great dictionary of proper use of Polish) (2004). A part of the analysed material has been selected systematically and a part of it has been excerpted at random. The material has been classifi ed into specific subgroups – from examples illustrating insignifi cant changes in the codifi ed standard to units representing almost revolutionary transformations occurring there (a form which used to be correct, e.g. dożywotny (lifelong), has become incorrect today, whereas the incorrect one, e.g. dożywotni, has become the standard one). A background against which the changes are presented are the units for which the prescriptive guidelines have remained the same in the examined period.
