Kilka cech języka osobniczego Kornela Ujejskiego
Some features of Kornel Ujejski’s personalized language

Summary/Abstract: The present paper attempts to characterize the personalized language of Kornel Ujejski on the background of language standards of 19th century based on several phonetic and inflectional features. Due to the lack of uniform standard for that period of time individual features of writer’s speech were determined as either implementation of theoretical standards or usage of the common nationwide language with account to literature language of northern or southern parts of the country’s borderlands. The writer’s phonetics was defined as more similar to the language of borderlands i.e. more conservative whereas his inflection tended to be determined as close to the common and nationwide Polish language that is subject to conscious artistic transformations and stylizations. Such view onto features of the poet’s language is a contribution to define a specific, personalized language from a genetic and dynamic position. It means that the language is considered as a dynamic phenomenon that is subject to changes under influence of various factors as the time goes by. It is why the need arises to carry on further and more detailed research studies that take account for stylistic, chronological and statistical aspects of the discussed issues.
