On the Polesian regional vocabulary in the works of Franciszek Wysłouch

Summary/Abstract: The research focuses on the lexical and semantic Polesian regionalisms found in the works of an emigrant writer, Franciszek Wysłouch (1896–1978), who was born in Polesie and spent almost half of his life there. The paper contains the analysis and description of words highlighted in the text by the writer himself, such as: budnik, kokoryca, mogiłki, ochotnik, pał, produch, wróżda||wrozda, żarnice. The author determines meaning of the words as functioning in Polesie on the basis of description of designata and writer’s commentaries as well as evaluating the value of writer’s explanation and commentaries as a research material for studies of the Polesian vocabulary in the late 19th and beginning of 20th century. The paper is also dedicated to the provenance of the analysed vocabulary, especially the East Slavic influences and borrowings as well as its functioning against the lexicon of the East Borderland variety of the Polish language.
