Janiny Porazińskiej dialog z tradycją

Abstract

The article discusses the elements of tradition in the language of Janina Porazińska’s children’s fiction. The vocabulary of her prose, with elements such as compounds, diminutives, determining adjectives and neologisms, can be divided into two categories: 1) words which come from the folklore of the Lublin area and thus belong to the dialectal lexicon; 2) neologisms created by the writer, which imitate the structure of dialectal vocabulary and serve the purpose of rendering her texts more poetic.
