Ewolucja normy językowej (na przykładzie form wariantywnych zawartych w Słowniczku błędów językowych Artura Passendorfera)
Evolution of the linguistic standard (illustrated with an example of variant forms contained in Passendorfer’s Concise Dictionary of Language Errors)

Summary/Abstract: To show the evolution of the linguistic standard, variant forms contained in A. Passendorfer’s Concise Dictionary of Language Errors and major grammar rules (published in 1904) were compared with normative determinations offered by PWN Great Dictionary of the Polish Language Usage ed. by A. Markowski (published in 2004). 100 years passed between the two publications. If any form was missing in the Great Dictionary of the Polish Language Usage, it was compared with a relevant entry in the Universal Dictionary of the Polish Language ed. by S. Dubisz (published in 2003). When comparing the variants in the two dictionaries, one can observe irregular evolution of the linguistic standard. After 100 years, some forms are assessed likewise in terms of the linguistic standard, while others are considered incorrect, are not recorded at all or had different usage labels (expressive, colloquial, dated, rare). Finally, there are some variants A. Passendorfer assumed rare, and the two contemporary dictionaries — as equal. The observations made in the research show how difficult and risky it is to predict the development of linguistic forms and their assessment in terms of the linguistic standard.
