- Keywords:diachrony; evolution of language; stability
- Summary/Abstract:Interest in the things which are permanent (stable) in language, and therefore, according to a general belief, in the things which are static in diachrony, came along with a reflection about the phenomenon of the permanence of language. Contrary to appearances, this theme continues to be a source of many interpretative problems. The author is interested above all in the basic problems associated with what this permanence (stability) is and whether this phenomenon is actually homo-genous or not. She directs the reader’s attention to a certain terminological and conceptual confusion, for on the one hand, in linguistic research works the following terms are used synonymously: permanence, stability, duration, continuity — in reference to the same concepts, and on the other hand, the same term is applied to heterogeneous phenomena.

Proper names can be the source of the knowledge of the language itself, what confirm lexis, text and style levels. They also constitute the grounds for observations of the culture history, what prove etiquette metamorphosis and the world picture included in media discourse.

- Keywords:interlinguistics; volapük; Polish textbooks for foreign languages published in the 19th century; didactic text
- Summary/Abstract:The aim of this article is to present Polish textbooks for learning the language of volapük published in the 1980s as texts promoting the forgotten idea of using an international auxiliary language called volapük. Methodologically, the article is in the area of pragmatically oriented diachronic linguistics. The linguistic view was subjected to four textbooks published between 1888 and 1889. Their authors were convinced of the need to popularize the language of volapük in Polish lands, and based their belief on the arguments underlying the movement of volapükists. The desire to win supporters for the idea of using an international auxiliary language influenced the style and language of the textbooks being observed. Linguistic tools for communicating knowledge about the new language (didactic function) and those that were supposed to persuade Poles to learn the international language (persuasive function) were presented.

- Keywords:parenthesis; particle; metatextuality; semantic shift
- Summary/Abstract:On the basis of ample literature devoted to parenthesis in the modern Polish language, the author seeks the instruments for the recognition of instances of parenthesis in old texts, in the study of which we lack linguistic competence, and in the study of which we lack prosodical hints (these constitute a substantial property of parenthesis). After Maciej Grochowski, it assumes that parenthesis is an expression which occurs in interposition, it uses the hints which are provided by punctuation signs (even though the latter differ from the ones that are used today), it takes into account the constitutive elements of interjections (verba dicendi). A hint in the indication of parenthesis in an old text is the convergence with the constructions which are familiar to this day (e.g. że tak powiem [ut ita dicam]). One should emphasize that one hint is not sufficient in the recognition of parenthesis in a text which was written centuries ago — usually the hints cross over and supplement each other. The pursuit of parenthesis facilitated the discovery of such types which are not featured in the Polish language (with czyli, rzekę and mówię), the inference about the existence of parenthesis even when it was not registered, cf. zaiste, zawierne, after the pattern of interjections with za pewne ‘surely’. Instances of parenthesis were the sources of certain particles — epistemic (e.g. niewątpliwie, z pewnością, pewnie), generalizing (np. generalnie, ogólnie), conclusion-related (dokładnie, innymi słowy, mianowicie), as well as particles of supplementation (na dodatek, w dodatku, ponadto). Thus, the article continues the problems which are discussed in the monograph entitled U źródeł polskich partykuł. Derywacja funkcjonalna, przemiany, zaniki (Katowice 2015).

Czy pojęcie kryptotypu służy uporządkowaniu polszczyzny?
Czy pojęcie kryptotypu służy uporządkowaniu polszczyzny?
(Does the Concept of Cryptotype Support the Systematizing of the Polish Language?)

- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Language studies, Theoretical Linguistics, Philology
- Page Range:61-75
- No. of Pages:15
- Keywords:cryptotype; Polish as a foreign language
- Summary/Abstract:B.L. Whorf created the concept of cryptotype by learning Indian languages and used it to describe English. Experiences in teaching foreigners of Polish as a foreign language indicate the possibility of using the term also in the description of our language. In the adverbial phrase of the place it is possible to distribute the locative forms with the preposition in (w) or with the preposition on (na). This suggests the possibility of dividing the nouns forming this part of the sentence into open nouns, connecting with on and closed nouns, connecting with in. Convincing foreigners about the existence in Polish of a cryptotype of open nouns and the closed nouns’ cryptotype helps them to use these prepositions correctly. Classifying nouns to cryptotypes makes it easier to understand the polysemy of words. The existence of closed cryptotype is easier to demonstrate due to the higher frequency of the preposition in.

- Summary/Abstract:The history of determining time in Slavic languages is the result of abstract and simultaneously classifying activities of human consciousness. The methods of marking time reflect the recognition of the surrounding world based on a specific experience of tribal and family life, on observation of cyclical changes of seasons in nature, phases of the moon, sunrise after sunset, day and night. Christianity spread among Slavs the ways of determining time, that were typical of ancient culture.

- Keywords:vocabulary of the 19th century; Polish medical terminology; synonyms
- Summary/Abstract:The analysis is based on the best 940 terms (ideal terms) from synonymic strings contained in Słownik terminologii lekarskiej polskiej (English: Polish Medical Terminology Dictionary) of 1881. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the sustainability of the ideal terms between 1881 and 1905 when the next medical dictionary was published. The ideal terms maintain their position at a rate of 67%, which shows that the choices of names made by physicians in the 2nd half of the 19th century were correct. At the same time, the sustainability of the ideal terms has been accompanied by negative processes: the synonymy is being insignificantly reduced on one hand while being even multiplied on the other hand.

- Keywords:dialect; lexicon; word formation; expression language
- Summary/Abstract:Dialects, constituting one of the most representative varieties of spoken Polish language, result to be an especially fruitful area for the research in expressive vocabulary. This is because, on one hand, they contain a higher diversity of linguistic means used in creation of expressive names than literary language, and, on the other hand, they have an advantage over general Polish with respect to expressive formations. Names referring to humans provide an exceptionally rich material as they are emotionally charged, negatively in the majority of cases. This is due to the fact that expression of feelings and judgments belongs to the area of language behaviors that can be observed in spontaneous direct human contact. Human behavior is subject to a determined set of values developed in a specific environment, and in the countryside, where everyone knows each other, this value assessment is more apparent. This article shall present the richness of the names referring to a person who constantly lies. Derivatives written down during the field exploration of the Lesser Poland and Mazovia border area display a diversification both lexical (e.g. brechacz, chełchun, cmanik, łgacz, kłamiec, picant, wywijas, zbereśnik) and derivational (e.g. kłamca, kłamiec, kłamacz, kłamuśnik, kłamczuk, kłamus; łgun, łgarz, łgus). The purpose of this article is to show the formal exponential values behind the pejorative expressions and semantic elements forming their expressive (pejorative) value found in their formative bases.

- Keywords:rhetoric prose; historical stylistics; history of the Polish language of the 16th century; Mikołaj Rej; David’s Psalter
- Summary/Abstract:The article deals with the notion of rhythmicity in the prose paraphrase of Mikołaj Rej’s David’s Psalter. The analysis of chosen syntactic (anaphora, alliteration, etymological figures) and phonetic rhetorical terms makes it possible to show the translator’s meticulous work on his selection of lexemes and their distribution in a single sentence or a verse. Rej did not follow the ciceronianism of the Renaissance and instead he made references to the rhetoric tradition of the Middle Ages, especially the artistic ars dictandi, which makes his prose style so characteristic. Rej modelled himself in this respect on Campensis, the opponent of the classical rhetorics. Present in the Polish translation, the terms are subordinate to the sound structure of the text and they make it closer not only to the traditional style of the Psalter’s translations, but they also imitate, to some extent, the outer characteristics of the Hebrew psalmic poetry, its melody, rhythmicity and orality.

- Keywords:Old Polish and 16th century translations of the Gospel; appellative names of Jesus; word equivalence
- Summary/Abstract:The subject of the article are different appellative names of Jesus occurring in the Old Polish and 16th century translations of the Gospel, categorized into the names used by himself and his disciples. Those names include: mistrz, uczyciel, nauczyciel, przykażyciel, przystaw, rabbi or rabbuni. These are different Polish equivalents of Greek lexemes, such as didaskalos, epistates, including Hebrew loanwords in Greek, such as rabbi and rabbuni. They are used mainly as appellative forms, in a direct address to a person. Those words occur in both the main text as well as in glosses, especially in Protestant texts. Their number, greater than in Greek and Latin, indicates creative consideration of the performed translation and the process of improvement of the translation workshop and in case of heterodox translations — the need to update vocabulary associated with Catholicism, e.g. uczyciel by Szymon Budny. To a minor extent the lexis of this group confirms the denominational differences.

- Keywords:rendering of the Bible; transmission of the biblical sense; semantical equivalence; hyponymization; viralization
- Summary/Abstract:In the New Testament of the Bible by Jakub Wujek (1599) some equivalents of Greek lexemes from the semantic field CHILD, i.e. παιδίον, παίς, τεκνίον, τέκνον, that are semantically ambivalent in terms of the gender, are subject of unjustified contextually hyponymization. Their Polish equivalents chłopię, pacholę, syn, synaczek, synowski depicts the male gender. That hyponymization takes effect in the viralization of the authentic Greek biblical sense in Polish. That semantical shift reflects a system of values of that times, and could have been justified by philological reasons since the Latin Vulgate was a primary rendering source text for Jakub Wujek. An expression synowie boży rendered for a Greek τέκνα τοῦ Θεοῦ, is an extreme example of the that kind of viralization. The similar state of affairs rules in the New Testament of the Protestant Brest Bible (1563) and in most cases in earlier rendering of the New Testament by Jakub Wujek (1593). However in the New Testament of the Gdansk Bible (1632) rendered by Daniel Mikołajewski in most cases ambivalent in terms of gender expressions: dziatki boże, dzieci boże, dzieci miłe, naśladowcy boży are implemented. Thanks to that they are closer semantically to meaning of the Greek original text.

- Keywords:Sheol; Bible; translation; equivalent
- Summary/Abstract:The author study different equivalents of the Hebrew word Sheol in selected old and new Polish translations of the Bible. The equivalents of this lexeme have been excerpted from different translations of the Bible, which were selected on the basis of diverse criteria. The translations are presented chronologically and old translations are opposed to the new ones. They are connected with the base of translations, i.e. the original text and/or Greek or Latin text. They can also be classified according to religious denomination and the strategy of the translation. The observation of those equivalents enables us to see not only their variety and mutual influence among translations but also the struggle of translators with a very difficult language matter. Many factors were important in that struggle: genetic and structural distances between Semitic languages and Polish, different perceptions of reality in distant cultures, the discrepancy between biblical and Slavonic realities and the influence of religious denomination. Another important factor was the state of biblical knowledge at the time — incomparably poorer in the case of the oldest Polish translations in comparison to modern ones.

- Keywords:Harry Duda; Book of Genesis; poetic paraphrase
- Summary/Abstract:The article discusses the poetic rendering of the Book of Genesis: Bereszith, czyli Księga Rodzaju (Genesis) wierszem przez Harry’ego Dudę [Bereszith, or the Book of Genesis in Verse by Harry Duda] (Lublin 2017). Following his own translation strategy worked out for his other biblical translations, in his Bereszith, Duda employs rhymed poetry. The formal organization of the poem is that of quatrain with the ABAB rhyme scheme and the regular Polish alexandrine metrical line. The poetic language of Harry Duda’s Book of Genesis is accurate and thorough; bookish in a general perception. His stylistic solutions can at times be questionable (vernacular and dialectal word choice, some items of rare or specialist kind). These forms mostly occur in the rhyming endings of the lines and their presence need to be seen as imposed by the adopted rhyming strategy; Although the poet declares his use of „relatively contemporary language style”, his work unveils historically marked lexical and grammatical items, which add to the elevation and the tarnish of a biblical text in translation.

- Keywords:prayer; ritualization; innovation; genre pattern
- Summary/Abstract:This article concerns an eighteenth-century piece entitled Pacierz Ślęzakow do Pana Boga na Prusakow. The basis of the analysis is a text written probably after 1742, at a time when Silesia was under Prussian rule. The piece is an example of popular and socially engaged literature. Pragmatic considerations have led to a highly conventionalized text, referring to the typical kind of prayer on the one hand; on the other hand, the original text, with clear temporal and socio-ideological references. The author expresses the conviction that the incorporation of the genre pattern of The Our Father prayer to a poetic piece derives both from the reliance on the authority and prestige of prayer and on minimizing the effort to receive the prayerful character of the text, generation of the sense of ethnic and religious communion by referring to the well-known, and even strongly intermixed ritual, and thus through the transformation of linguistically individualized expression into a collective voice.

- Summary/Abstract:The aim of the article is a description of translation theory, which can be reconstructed on the basis of the comments scattered in the work by Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski Thought about Polish writings [Myśli o pismach polskich]. This theory is considered to be an element of the 18th century linguistic awareness of then social elites. This subject can be observed through the prism of the following issues: 1) types of translation, 2) properties of Polish, 2) relation to neologisms, including borrowings. Adam Czartoryski’s reconstructed translatological concept is mature, multi-faceted and modern not only at this time, which is determined by the fact that not only aspects of the language system are included in the translation process but also cultural and communication perspectives are taken into account. The reconstructed theory complements the linguistic landscape of the Enlightenment elite; it also provides another proof of its high level.

The aim of the article is a reconstruction of the picture of Orient in lexis and phraseology of the letters. The analysis is conducted from two subiective points of view: the painter’s point of view and point of view of the citizen of the Turkish state. It turns out that Orient and Oriental people are constantly valued by Chlebowski. He uses colloquial Polish, choosing emotional lexemes and morphems. His opinion on Orient is ambivalent, but it is almost convergence with the findings of the researchers of stereotypes about nationality.

- Summary/Abstract:The paper focuses on the set of mental and emotional units (cogitandi and sentiendi verbs) which were taken from the novel entitled Bez dogmatu written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. The analysis encompasses 500 occurrences of 118 verbs — 46 cogitandi and 72 sentiendi ones. The theme of the novel, which is a love drama, and the narration in the form of a diary allow the supposition of a wide range of analysed predicates. Cogitandi verbs are more frequent in the studied text, but the scope of sentiendi verbs is much wider and more diverse. The number of single emotional units is higher than mental ones. The conducted analysis confirms the adopted hypothesis regarding the frequency of occurrence of the said verbs. The linguistic investigation shows the way in which the writer, through his decisions about the stylistic form, presents the internal world (emotions, memories, thoughts) of the main hero and other characters.

In the Old Polish era this technique was used on a large scale. The authors wrote down such registers for several reasons. These activities were aimed at organizing the material. It was a method of presenting the world, showing the richness of its elements through their collection, enumeration, hierarchization. Sometimes the catalog was also a creative principle of the literary concept, a way of surprise and amazement of the reader. Cataloging was a useful method of gathering and developing material both in the area of literature with high artistic value, in poetry and in the utilitary literature, in historical and encyclopedic works.

- Summary/Abstract:E. Kucharska-Dreiss starts her paper with a brief discussion of the origin, the role and the form of books of friendship (known also as “alba amicorum”). She also presents a general image of the owners of books of friendship, of the authors of inscriptions and of the structure of inscriptions themselves. She closes the introductory part of the paper with the conclusion that a book of friendship is studied by many disciplines. In the next part of her paper Kucharska-Dreiss discusses in more detail the content of Lexikon der Stammbuchsprüche: Stechow’s Stammbuchsprüche-Schlüssel (S.S.S.S.) (Stechow 1996) on which her study is based. The main part of the study (the first of a series of several planned) is devoted to preliminary remarks on the initialisms to be found in books of friendship (i.e. aphorisms, quotations, etc. written down as sequences of initials). The author’s observations concern the length and form of initialisms, multiple solutions of the same initialism (in the same or different sources, in one or several languages, with similar or slightly different content), the cited works (with the Bible as a primary source of quotations) and authors (ancient thinkers, writers and poets were most often cited). Closing her paper, the author informs the reader which (detailed) issues will be explored in further studies belonging to this series of articles.

- Author(s):Jolanta Migdał, Bogdan Walczak
- Language:Polish
- Subject(s):Polish Literature, Philology
- Page Range:347-357
- No. of Pages:11
- Keywords:history of language; anthology; chrestomathy
- Summary/Abstract:The article contains a review of collections (anthologies) of texts to the history of the Polish language from the mid-19th century until today. The authors put special emphasis on the anthologies which are most commonly utilized in university didactic, i.e., the anthologies edited by Stefan Vrtel-Wierczyński, Witold Taszycki and the editorial team of Wiesław Wydra and Wojciech Ryszard Rzepka (in this respect it is difficult to form an opinion about the most recent, collective Łódź – Zielona Góra selection of texts edited by Marek Cybulski as it has just appeared in bookshops). On the background of rather schematic titles of anthologies (Selection of texts, Review, Exceptions, Written monuments, Texts etc.) an outstanding work is the Old-Polish Chrestomathy by Wydra and Rzepka. Thus, the authors conclude their paper by explaining the word chrestomathy.

- Summary/Abstract:The object of this article is a review of Selected texts… (2015) edited by Marek Cybulski in comparison with Polish and selected Slavic and non-Slavic chrestomathies. The considerable importance of this work in Polish linguistics is evidenced by a number of factors: the timespan (covering both earliest and recent texts), the exceptional (even astounding) variety of text styles and genres, well-edited informational notes preceding the texts, and appended glossaries. However, the most important and original feature of this publication are the comments that follow texts, as they reflect the deep theoretical linguistic knowledge of the authors. This is currently the largest and best chrestomathy in historical Slavic linguistics and likely in historical non-Slavic linguistics as well.

- Keywords:history of Polish language; metalinguistics; authority; pragmalinguistics; genology
- Summary/Abstract:The article contains an overview of the basic historiosophical principles and methodological choices that Professor Marek Cybulski, a historian of Polish language, is guided by in his research. At the basis of contemporary historical-linguistic reflection lies the experience of philological analysis. First of all, in the centre of the study, specific language forms are used for a specific purpose, the meaning of which is described by the analysis of the communication function and the pragmatic situation. In historical-linguistic research, it is expedient to apply philological methods, enriched with socio-linguistic and pragmatic descriptions, taking into account their modifications resulting from various factors, including: phenomenon and text values, universality and representativeness. The assessment of the degree of universality or scale of the phenomenon can be based on both intuitional and self-experienced reflections, as well as on specific data acquired in turnout studies. The analysis is primarily concerned with universal, repetitive, stable phenomena, constituting a permanent and important element of human communication. The basic research sources should be varied, and among them a considerable value is attributed to manuscript, usable, authentic texts.

- Summary/Abstract:The paper is devoted to language behaviour functionally conditioned. The material base is Speculum Saxonum or Práwo Sáskie y Magdeburskie by Paweł Szczerbica from the 16th century. The aim of the paper is to explain to what extent this document could have influenced as a pattern of communication within the Polish national community determined by law. The analysis is integrated into the current of sociolinguistic and pragmatic research. Its subject is verba dicendi formulas, which impose certain linguistic behaviour on participants in court proceedings. Introducing the language behaviour pattern the sender signals a formula using verbal verbs, e.g.: request, ask, answer, condemn. The conducted research shows that the pattern includes the social component of the act (function, sex, the rank of the person with respect to each other) and the physical component (number of participants in the act of speech, sequence of activities, properties of space in which communication occurs). This is a multi-faceted message implemented with several codes: verbal and kinesic. In addition, the recipient receives information about the symbolic forms of behaviour that guarantee the fortune of the act.

- Keywords:censorship; cryptotext; scientific and educational publications
- Summary/Abstract:In the paper I analyze selected censorship strategies towards scientific and educational publications evaluated by the Polish Censorship Office in 1950s. These strategies involve: evaluation of literature cited in the papers, elimination of confidential and problematic informations, resignation from scientific evaluation for the purpose of ideology. My analysis shows that censorship reviews were just one of the links in the chain of the publication process and that the aim of most of them was only the evaluation of ideological engagement. Scientific publications were risky for censors as they could humiliate them because they showed their „competence barriers”. Because of this they show real aims of censorship and the shallowness of the factual level of evaluation better than then typical censorship of literature.
