Review: Anna Maria Skibska, Mistyczne zaułki dyskursów. Rzecz o słownikach niemożliwych. Poznań 2019. „Filologia Polska”. Nr 210

Summary/Abstract: The review discusses Anna Maria Skibska’s book “Mistyczne zaułki dyskursów. Rzecz o słownikach niemożliwych” (“Mystical Recesses of Discourses. On the Impossible Glossaries”) published in 2019. The reviewer is favourable in analysing Skibska’s idea and her ambition to comprehend the historically, linguistically, and culturally differentiated field area material. By contrast, she is critical about Skibska’s thinking and writing style, and in particular about the argumentative strategy employed by her, namely repeating someone else’s establishments, random analogies, and arbitrary associations, as well as unconcern about the clarity of her own argument.
