Frazematyka północnokresowa. Problemy opisu tradycyjnego i zarys projektu jego sformalizowania
Phraseology of the Kresy Północne (Northern Borderlands) dialect. Problems of a traditional description and an outline of a formalization project

Summary/Abstract: Since the appearance of the linguistic surveys by Bogusławski et al., interest in multiword linguistic units has grown among linguists. However, researchers have focused their attention almost exclusively on phrasemes in standard Polish, and the phraseology of the Northern Borderlands has remained essentially unstudied. The authors have conducted a review of the few recorded Northern Borderlands phrasemes and demonstrated that they present researchers with more problems than the multiword expressions from the ethnic majority areas. A proper description of these requires the availability of a rich list of examples that are geographicallyvaried and dated, as well as the availability of relatively complete studies of Russian, Belorussian and Lithuanian phraseology. The authors hold two vast card indexes of Northern Borderlands phrases. In the article, they outline a concept for a formal description of this material based on the work of A. Bogusławski.
