“If things are to go on…” – potentiality and entropy in Magdalena Tulli’s early prose

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the specificity of the language in early prose works by Magdalena Tulli. The phenomena of literary grammar (a specific manner of operating abundance in the narrative, a particular type of arranging syntax and a creative use of colloquialism) allow one to consider this prose as an entropic story. Predominantly thanks to a characteristic dispersion of narrative energy, as well as chaotic moments, contrasting with readers’ expectations. Thanks to quoted examples and references to selected linguistic research concepts, yet another perspective on interpreting textual features in the works of the author of “Skaza”, which will in turn allow asking new questions about the exceptionality of stories included in this original poetic prose.
