Przekleństwa z komponentem "szlag"/"szlak" w języku ogólnopolskim i w gwarach
Expletives with the "szlag"/"szlak" component in General Polish and dialects

Summary/Abstract: In the article the occurrence of the borrowing szlag / szlak ‘apoplexy, paralysis’ in General (Old and Modern) Polish as well as in Polish dialects has been presented. Expletives including this component have been depicted adopting a division that incorporates a syntactic scheme represented by a given phraseme. The variant character of a part of the expletives in relation to the compounds with the component ‘devil’ has been pointed out while regarding the phrasemes noted in the Warmian and Masurian dialects the possibility of interpreting them alternatively has been considered, i.e. as compounds in which the lexeme described is not a name of a disease but as a word meaning ‘thunderbolt’.
