Kim jest językoznawca normatywista dziś? Przyczynek do dyskusji o zadaniach współczesnej normatywistyki
Who is a prescriptivist linguist today? A contribution to the debate on objectives of the contemporary prescriptivism

Summary/Abstract: The currently reviving debate on the direction and objectives of prescriptive linguistics in the changing conditions for linguists to cultivate science and function in the Polish society raises the question about who a prescriptivist linguist is today. The answer to this question is not straightforward but it seems that there are three ranks of images within which prescriptivist linguists are portrayed: ADVOCATE – AUTHORITY – PROPAGATOR, GUIDE – CONTROLLER – OBSERVER, GUARD – GARDENER – JUDGE. They emerge from the analysis of the presentations in prescriptive linguistics released in “Poradnik Językowy” (“The Linguistic Guide”) and “Język Polski” (“The Polish Language”) as well as other selected prescriptive publications of the past decade, which was conducted from the cognitive perspective.
