Morfotaktyka polskich przymiotników z perspektywy historycznej
Morphotactics of Polish Adjectives from the Historical Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The text is a complementation of a reflexion on the evolution of Polish adjectives withemphasis put on intermorphs. The issue seems important for the conclusion of themorphological construction of contemporary lexemes. The following issues guided the choiceof intermorphs: 1/ It sometimes happens that an intermorph is an innovation in the timespan from Old Polish to later ages, while the sources of this innovation have common points.Should intermorphs be divided on a basis of series in every case? The problem has beenexamined on an example of intermorphs -al-, -ar- before the suffix -ny. 2/ How much shouldhistorical conditions decide on a division of modern lexemes into morphemes? The issue isbeing examined in an assessment of the status -l- in the suffix -liwy. We hope that both thesynchronic and diachronic approach to language will be included in the works on the PolishMorpheme dictionary (Author’s postulate).
