Rozdział z polskiej dialektologii historycznej: nagłos zaimka wszytek i podobnych w Rozmyślaniu przemyskim

Abstract

The paper presents a description of Old Polish consonant group wsz- analyzed on the basis of full linguistic material of Rozmyślanie przemyskie that for tens of years was considered to be a relict of the northern Lesser Poland and only since a short time ago thanks to R. Laskowski, W.R. Rzepka and the author’s study it is recognized to be the biggest Old Polish manuscript with many linguistic features of the Polish language used in Polish-Ukrainian borderland. While the former researchers (M. Bargiel, M. Karaś, to whom the author addressed inserted in the footnotes jibes referring both to negligence in collecting full material and to hasty conclusions) considered the transposition in the group wsz- to take place mainly in Mazovia and in northern Lesser Poland, the author quoting also his earlier statements in the monograph on the language of Ortyle magdeburskie argues beyond the shadow of a doubt that such a transposition together with a characteristic feature of the pronunciation of Mazovians consisting in substituting dental stops and affricates for alveolar stops and affricates occurring in this region was typical mainly of the Polish language in south-eastern borderlands in the Middle Ages.
