Personal agents’ names in dialects and general Polish language

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to indicate an opposition between word-formation in dialects and wordformation in general Polish language on the basis of personal agents’ names. The author underlines, above all, the difference in comprehension of the word-formation category’s capacity, rather different methodology of research and the issue of shifts between categories. The derivational processes unprecedented in Polish are presented. Moreover, the article shows that the same unit functioning in both general Polish language and in dialects may be interpreted differently by dialect speakers and that the borderline between stem and formant may differ, which determines separation of various root words and forms of formal indexes. Finally, the author wants to show that the word-formation facts can constitute the basis of assigning borderlines between particular dialect areas.
