Wpływ polszczyzny ogólnej na system słowotwórczy gwar (na przykładzie nazw środków czynności)
The influence of general Polish language on derivational system of dialects (based on examples of names of manners of action)

Summary/Abstract: Looking at the lexical category of names of manners of action it can be noticed that development of dialectal word-formation illustrates all-Poland tendencies in ways of forming words according to systemic rules. It is proved by productivity of formants such as -arka, -nik, -ak, shared with literary language, as well as by tendency to abbreviation, and forming univerbalisms which replace longer forms mainly of a descriptive type. Another sign of Polish language influence on derivational system of dialects is displayed by the existence of derivational forms, which were created by analogy of morphologic structures of all-Poland words, in dialects. The process of word-formational analogy leads to (among other things) the increase of frequency of a certain word-formational type (e.g. -arka) and indication of other than model possibilities of forming names of manners of action (e.g. names with formant -ówka derived from nouns and verbs).
