Jan Baudouin de Courtenay and Henryk Ułaszyn in light of their correspondence

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the history of the friendship between Jan Baudouin de Courtenay and his disciple Henryk Ułaszyn, a linguist and a professor in three Polish universities, which lasted almost from the time they first met in Cracow in 1898 until Baudouin’s death. Baudouin not only became an academic guide to Ułaszyn, but was also the man who shaped his worldview and ethical principles. Baudouin, in turn, found in Ułaszyn not only an intelligent disciple, but also a man with a similar way of thinking. This paper is based on Baudouin’s letters found a few years ago and subsequently published, as well as on Ułaszyn’s memoirs, which are presently being prepared for publication.
