«Adam Mickiewicz, the teacher, used to correct and write down a sentence»

Summary/Abstract: The author presents a notebook of B. Kiejstut-Giedymin, a student of Adam Mickiewicz from the time, when the poet took up a teacher’s post in a primary school in Kowno. The original notebook, containing essays written in the 1820/1821 school year, was accurately copied (together with the alterations and remarks of A. Mickiewicz) by Z. Niklewski, and published in 1913. The description focuses on specific features of the young teacher-poet’s language. The author determines them on the grounds of: 1) alterations made to the linguistic style of the student’s essays; 2) mistakes and gross regionalisms, to which the teacher did not pay attention; 3) linguistic peculiarities, reflected in the very text of the Mickiewicz’s remarks. In the analysed notebook, the most often were specific graphic, phonetic, as well as graphic-phonetic features, whereas regional flexion and syntax properties, as well as the lexical ones, were reflected there to a lesser extent. Similar proportions had already been confirmed by researchers of manuscripts of the poet.
