Kraina „od Boga zapomniana”. Językowy obraz Litwy w pismach Józefa Piłsudskiego
A Land Forgotten by God. A Language Image of Lithuania in Józef Piłsudski’s Writings

Summary/Abstract: The article is the first attempt to reconstruct a language image of Lithuania emerging from Józef Piłsudski’s statements and comments. The analysis is based on the Collected Works (Pisma zebrane) of the Marshal, and on his letters that appeared both in the Second Polish Republic, and in emigration, in the Warsaw and London-New York periodical Niepodległość. The language image of Lithuania is presented in three aspects: historical, perspectival, and personal. The keywords necessary to understand both the train of thought and emotions of the narrator are: captivity, concord, and pleasant Vilnius.
