Brazylijskie nazwy miejscowe i ich adaptacje w języku Polonii brazylijskiej (na podstawie opublikowanych w 1930 roku numerów „Gazety Polskiej w Brazylii” i „Ludu”)

The aim of this paper is to present the names of brazilian localities and different types of adaptation used by the members of the Polish community in Brazil in two Polish-language newspapers published in Curitiba: „Gazeta Polska w Brazylii” and „Lud”. The study focuses on the names found in the issues published in 1930 and shows that 87% of the gathered material is used in its original form. The remaining material consists of adapted names that are divided according to various adaptation techniques, among them translation. The author describes the frequency of the analyzed adaptations and provides comments on their use in different types of texts and by different authors.

Konceptualizowanie uczuć jako specyfika opisu przeżyć w tekstach uczniowskich

The aim of the article is to analyze the development of the description of experiences and the conceptualisation of feelings in the school essays. The author analyzes the proper part of the description of experiences prepared by primary school students; the interpretation consists of both treating the text as a product – the effect of using technology in the process of linguistic activity – as well as introducing the students’ textual abilities and skills. The analyzed texts include the authors’ own interpretations of their experiences, starting from the presentation of stimuli that triggered the given feelings, through describing the accompanying and emotional reactions, and ending with the description of the results derived from the experienced emotions. The essence of the description of experiences is the conceptualization of feelings, for the development of which students use three different schemas: simple time sequences, the contrast technique and the “kaleidoscope technique”.

Świadomość onimiczna w piśmiennictwie pamiętnikarskim na przykładzie „Mojego pamiętnika z wojny światowej” Sebastiana Poszywaka

Sebastian Poszywak, author of “Mój pamiętnik z wojny światowej”, was a soldier who fought in an Austro-Hungarian regiment. Together with his troops he fought on the Italian front during World War I. The diary he kept is full of local names, both Polish and Slovenian, as well as German and Italian. The article presents the onymic awareness of the author of the diary, examines various forms of toponyms that sounded foreign to the soldier from the Podkarpacie region, emphasizing the structures of Slovenian (e.g. Brestovica pri Komnu – Brestowice, Brestawice, Brestowica) and Italian (e.g. Medeazza – Medyjaca, Madyaco) local names. The text also takes account of the history of onomastic research on proper names contained in the diaries. The article is a contribution to further onomastic analyses of other onymic categories of peasant diaristic texts.

Etymologie ludowe w toponimach na pograniczu polsko-ruskim

Toponyms are interesting linguistic material. They contain knowledge about the environment of our existence - its formation, wealth, history, and even about spatial or social relations. The purpose of this article was to obtain and analyse naming material (names and their folk etymologies) from seventeen villages located within three rural communes on both sides of the San River. The analysis was based on comparison of folk and scientific etymologies. This allowed to answer the questions of how current residents of the former ethnic borderland understand foreign names in their localities, what kind of conceptualisation of the world emerges from folk etymologies, and whether the river San as a natural obstacle significantly influenced the linguistic concepts of its right and left-bank residents. The analysis of toponyms indicates that in rural communities of the studied area, proper names were often motivated by historical, settlement and topographic specifics. Therefore, simple motivation dominates here: creators most often referred to physical properties such as shape and appearance. From other aspects, location, function and local residents were often considered. The relatively high percentage of names with foreign phonetic influences, largely incomprehensible to their contemporary users, stems from the turbulent history of this area and the overlapping Ruthenic, Slovak and other influences. No statistically important differences in conceptualisation of the world between the residents of the east and west sides of the river were detected.

Określenia chorób w dziewiętnastowiecznym poradniku medycznym Józefa Zmijewskiego

This article characterizes disease entities noted in medical handbook “Method of curing with the means not used before” […], written by Józef Zmijewski in 1888 in terms of semantics, genetic relationships and structural linguistics. These disease entities have been derived from the source text because of their general character meaning they can be used to define many diseases. The terms characterize diseases based on their place and method of origin, the course of the disease, impairment of psychological functions, tissues and internal organs. They also indicate patient characteristics like age and sex. Many of these terms are noted in Polish dictionary of medical terminology from 1881 (46.9%) and in Polish medical dictionary from 1905 (40.6%) but they gain medical meaning only when used with words such as: choroba [-y], cierpienie [-a], dolegliwość [-i] or with specific names of disease entities, e.g.: skórne choroby, cierpienia nerwowe, dolegliwości moczowe, febra zastarzała, tryper zastarzały, febra starcza. Most names are native units (84.4%). These are words inherited form pre-Slavic languages or created based on polish language, e.g.: dziedziczny, gorączkowy, piorunujący, sercowy, dziecięcy, kobiecy. Only 15.6% pf the terms are based on other linguistic roots, e.g. gastryczny, chroniczny, epidemiczny. Majority of these terms are one-word structures (93.75%) expressed by adjectives and adjectival participles (90.6%), ending with -ny, -owy, -ty. As an exception there is a noun in genitive: (choroby) skóry. Only 6.25% are pronominal expressions: (choroby) z ojca; z rodziców.

Zwischenruf – przegląd stanowisk badawczych

The purpose of this article is to present the most important theories and works related to zwischenruf (heckling) over the years, which are actually the current state of research. The vast majority of them are based on research in the German language area, which have made the biggest steps in this respect, paving the way for research in other languages and which form the basis for any subsequent research on zwischenruf (heckling), both in a general and detailed sense, i.e. in the context of studies on parliamentary interruptions. The article is based mainly on German examples, which I justify with the desire to expand and enrich the state of knowledge of Polish-language researchers, including linguists. At the same time, however, where necessary and justified, I also refer to Polish and other foreign theories and works.

Imiennictwo łemkowskie w XIX wieku

The name resource of Lemkos living in the first half of the nineteenth century is mostly made up of anthroponyms derived from the Christian tradition, i.e. biblical names, as well as names of the holy martyrs and the blessed of different periods of Christianity, belonging more often to Eastern Churches, a little less often to the Catholic Church. Most of the Lemko anthroponyms derive from the Orthodox-Russian tradition, which in turn has its roots in the Greek tradition. Names of Greek etymology account for 50.5% of the excerpted material. The most common ones include the following: Anastasia, Gregor, Basilius, Andreas, Stephanus, Theodorus, Ksenia, Parasceve, Pelagia, Demetrius, Petrus, Helena. Latin names are much less common (19%), e.g. Paulus, Romanus, Antonius, Ignatius, Julia, Julianus, as well as Hebrew names (12,4%), e,g. Maria, Anna, Ewa, Joannes, Symeon. Germanic names (Wilhelmus, Adalbertus, Conradus, Leopoldus) and Slavic names (Stanislaus) were among the rarest. The analyzed anthroponomastics is characterized by high repeatability of names. The proper names in the top ten make up 57.3% of all units. The most frequently repeated names are Maria, Joannes, Anna, Anastasia, Gregorius, Andreas, Theodorus, Stephanus, Simeon. Names which have appeared once represent only 2.3% of the analyzed anthroponomastics.

Hiperbola i litota i ich funkcje w nagłówkach dziennika regionalnego „Gazeta Pomorska”

The paper focues on the analysis of article headlines published in the local newspaper “Gazeta Pomorska”, in particular with regard to figures of speech like hyperbole and its opposite. Conventionalised metaphors (related to war, fight, nightmare, disaster, fear, illness) allow for creation of hyperbolic headlines. Military metaphors constitute the most numerous group where reality is presented as a battlefield (for example description of a purchase, African swine fever, election campaign, protest, road accidents, sport). Whereas, litotes is not only depicted by figures of speech such as personification, comparison, but also irony, colloquialisms and intersexuality. Although the material was extracted from a regional journal the analysis indicated that there are 43 percent more examples of general Polish headlines in the pages of “Gazeta Pomorska” with the use of hyperbole and litotes than those of regional origin. The analysis suggests that headlines of regional articles are frequently purely informative in nature without rhetorical aspects.
