Summary/Abstract: The study presents the research findings concerning linguistic mechanisms of generalizationon the basis of aphorism texts. The aim of the linguistic analysis was tocatalogue Polish and Russian determinants of generalization, as well as to bring thegeneralization strategies typical of an aphoristic style closer. The aphoristic materialbeing analysed allowed for constructing a kind of “generalization grammar”. The workconsists of four chapters devoted to particular aspects of sentences having a generalizationstatus. Chapter one concerns the issue of generalizing a subject. Chapter twoand three bring the qualitative and quantitative features of generalization closer. Inchapter four generalizations in a verbal group were characterized. As a result of theattempt made to holistically describe the material and mechanisms of generalization inrelation to the genre analysed a rich source of Polish and Russian generity carriers thatpartially prove the hypothesis that generalization is a textual category of aphorism wasdifferentiated.
