In question of understanding personal names of action performers

Summary/Abstract: Derivatives belonging to the word-formational category of names of action performers were described in the historical Polish language and modern all-Poland language; however, there is a lack of studies in the field of dialectal word formation. Therefore, there is a need of describing derivatives included in semantic-derivational category of the names of action performers occurring in dialects of Małopolska-Mazovian linguistic borderline. Derivatives which we included in this category are deverbativa and desubstantiva defining an independent performer of an action (e.g. śefca) aiming at an exact result (copńik), directed at an object (rybok) or matter (viklińoš), performed with the use of tools (piloš), up-taken in specific time (źńivoš) or specific place (aptekoš). The description will also include derivatives like dozarka/dozacka/duzka ‘a woman who milks (milked) cows’, saracka/sararka ‘a woman who plants potatoes’, syńvina ‘a woman who judges people’, which in general Polish language are recognized as belonging to a category of female names derived from the male equivalents and functioning in dialects as female names of action performers.
