OGNIEM I MIECZEM – LEKCJA SZLACHECKIEGO SAVOIR-VIVRE’U
Full text linkPolish linguistic courtesy owes a lot to the gentry’s culture and courtly culture in general. As research suggests, centuries ago the major and specific norms of Polish etiquette (the special position of women) emerged while the noble and courtly origin of the majority of the contemporary forms of address is beyond doubt. Due to the dominant impact of the aristocratic and courtly model of courtesy on the linguistic habits of contemporary Poles and their ancestors, it seemed interesting and useful to present and describe selected elements of Sarmatism’s linguistic etiquette from today’s perspective (with special emphasis placed on words of greetings and farewells) included in Henryk Sienkiewicz’s famous historical novel, Ogniem i mieczem [With Fire and Sword]. This attempt was also stimulated by the book’s cognitive value and the author’s impressive knowledge of the Polish gentry in the mid-17th century, obtained as a result of studies of the literary diaries available to him. Therefore, the attempt made to recreate the world of gentry’s culture and its model of Old Polish etiquette is not just a product of the author’s imagination and it continues to inspire contemporary readers.Polish linguistic courtesy owes a lot to the gentry’s culture and courtly culture in general.

Full text linkPOZNAŃ WALDEMARA ŻYSZKIEWICZA
Full text linkThe article focuses on the theoretical works of Douwe Draaisma, Tomasz Maruszewski and Małgorzata Czermińska. Żyszkiewicz’s poems revolve around the theme of deportees from Lvov settling down after WWII in Poznań, an area where German culture was cultivated. In the poems, a connection is made between the poet’s memory and specific features of the city’s topography.The article focuses on the theoretical works of Douwe Draaisma, Tomasz Maruszewski and Małgorzata Czermińska.

ZAINTERESOWANIA JĘZYKOZNAWCZE ZYGMUNTA KRASIŃSKIEGO
Full text linkZygmunt Krasiński devoted much if his attention to the “philosophical” essence of the language and the origins of various tongues. His conjectures, based on speculative and mystic philosophy, are of no scientific importance; rather, they reflect the author’s strong attachment to religion. While not original, his views on the role of a mother tongue in preserving national identity are correct. The writer was interested in spelling and correct grammatical usage of the Polish language. He also focused on assessing the style of texts written in Polish and French. His views were hardly innovative, offering some value in comparison with the 19th century theory of style. Other language-related mentions: the sophistication of Juliusz Słowacki’s language and proposals of baby names based on “inspired” etymological ideas, are inconsequential.Zygmunt Krasiński devoted much if his attention to the “philosophical” essence of the language and the origins of various tongues.

Full text linkPROBLEMY NORMALIZACJI I KODYFIKACJI W HISTORII JĘZYKA DOLNOŁUŻYCKIEGO I JĘZYKA GÓRNOŁUŻYCKIEGO
Full text linkThe subject of the article is a process of standardisation and codification of the Upper Sorbian and LowerSorbian languages. The author enumerates and reviews the most important grammars and dictionaries codifying the Sorbian language, stresses the influence of the Maćica Serbska cultural and educational associations on arriving at a common Upper Sorbian standard and demonstrates the role of the Czech language in developing Sorbian standards.The subject of the article is a process of standardisation and codification of the Upper Sorbian and LowerSorbian languages.

GŁÓWNE PROBLEMY NORMALIZACJI POLSZCZYZNY XVII WIEKU
Full text linkResearch into the literary Polish language of the 17th century was undertaken relatively late. No significant relevant attempts had been made before the mid-20th century. The first detailed studies were made in the 1950s while the 1970s marked significantly advanced studies on the subject. The first monograph of the 17th century Polish language was published as late as in 2002. However, the monograph, presenting the entire grammar system together with the spelling rules and phonetics, does not conclude research into this period as it is rather general and fails to discuss many major issues related to the language’s evolution, for example the regional conditionings of the course of the normalization processes. This is a shortage plaguing many works on the 17th century Polish language. Therefore, it is very difficult to reconstruct the emergence and geographic distribution of linguistic innovations, over time transferring into a language norm. As for the 17th century, we can only refer to the text norm (or a practical norm/usus). In the century in question, a codified (theoretical) norm had not yet been developed although the grammar instructions from that time include some guidelines on linguistic correctness. As printing had already been well developed, we have enough sources to reconstruct text norms and to show its evolution. By referring to studies and text overviews one may conclude that the 17th century inherited from the 16th century a system largely normalized on various levels: the spelling, phonetics and morphology. On the other hand, it also either inherited or produced co-functional variants which only aspired to becoming a part of the norm. On the basis of selected issues from the realm of phonetics, declension and conjugation, the article shows examples of norms inherited from the previous century and, more importantly, processes of new linguistic norms emerging in the 17th century. These processes have been presented not only in reference to the averaged status in the general Polish language but also, whenever possible, their course is presented in the regional varieties of the language. By resorting to the methodology and terminology developed by Irena Bajerowa, the authors have touched upon the issue of the regionally diversified rate of the normalization processes. However, with reference to the 17th century, we are not able to present many linguistic facts in this specific way. What we need is detailed statistical research that shows the share of the specific variants in the regional variations of the Polish language, in several synchronic sectional views (vertical time segments). This research procedure will allow to show the source of new linguistic norms, the rate at which they disseminate and which regions are the most innovative ones.Research into the literary Polish language of the 17th century was undertaken relatively late.
