dc.description.abstract | The article focuses on the lexical heritage of Adam Mickiewicz in Słownik gwar polskich (SGP) - Vocabulary of
Polish Dialects. The heritage includes the following items: borowik, chołodziec, chrapy, czmychać, grankulka, hlak,
hnilica, huślica, kucja, lisiczki, otawa, ożyna, paciorka, paliwoda, pastka, świerzop and the proper name Dumouriez
’Dymulier’. On the basis of the content analysis of key articles in SGP the author established several reasons for
Karlowicz’s reference to the poet’s literary pieces: 1. To document folk (communal), and even more frequently,
provincial character of a given name, 2. To supplement and specify Mickiewicz’s meanings, or clarify meanings which
are not context-bound in the poet’s works 3. To document words associated with Mickiewicz in the popular perception
and 4. To use the poet’s authority and emphasise his influence on the lexical scope of Polish language. The grounds
for the formulated hypotheses comprise sample documentation, analyses of the methods of using exemplifying material
from Mickiewicz by SGP author and semantic convergence and word meaning differences in the poet’s works and the SGP
material. | en_EN |
