Therefore, research is of diachronic nature. The research material is constituted by four scholarly linguistics-related texts which were published at the turn of the 20th century. As far as the typology is concerned, the author took into consideration mainly the frequency of the occurrence of the particular linguistic units in the texts which are analysed. One also established the functions which are performed by given expressions that are used in early linguistics-related publications and the intentions of the sender of the message.

- Summary/Abstract:In the article, the author engages a question which is engaged rarely or cursorily in the publications devoted to the culture of the Polish language of the spelling reform of the middle of the 20th century. The author devotes particular attention to seven rules which were introduced at that time and which cover the most numerous lexical groups. She is interested in the notation of these regulation in reference to the state of affairs of 1936 (the great spelling reform) and to the modern state of affairs, as well as the problem of the foundations of the resolutions which were engaged in 1956 (the actual usage represented by speakers of Polish or the suggestions of the codifiers themselves). The author draws her conclusions by analysing the material excerpted from the January issues of the Małopolska “Dziennik Polski”: from 1953 (the state of affairs before the reform) and 1958 (after the reform).

- Summary/Abstract:The essay represents a part of the research in the functional efficiency of the Polish language of the past centuries and it constitutes a contribution to the history of the teaching of the English language in Poland perceived in the historical-linguistic perspective. It is devoted to textbooks intended for learners of English published in Polish in the years 1788–1914. The object of analysis is constituted by the titles and the prefaces to the textbooks which were published in that period. The analysis enabled the indication of the typological variety ofthe textbooks, the recipient of the textbooks who is implied by their authors, the content of the textbooks and the attitude of the author to the content which is presented. The article indicates that the early English-language textbooks constitute a varied collection of non-literary texts whose research enables the supplementation of knowledge about the type of a text which is represented by textbooks for the study of foreign languages by a diachronic perspective.

- No. of Pages:14
- Summary/Abstract:The present article constitutes an attempt at describing the nasal vowel ą with the application of the methods of the phonology of government, as well as a confrontation of the results of this description with an analysis of the nasal sound ą in the models of Prague structuralism and of American distributionalism. The results which were drawn from this comparison were referred to the problem (which is widely discussed by linguists) of the status of nasal vowels in the modern Polish language. The observations which were made, for which the research material constituted a small fraction of the phonological system of the native and modern Polish language, enabled the finding of the answer to the question whether one should attribute the status of a separate phoneme to nasal vowels or to deny this status to them.

- Summary/Abstract:The article was written on the basis of a Bachelor’s thesis defended in 2015. The first part of the article describes the category of a biolect, which is sometimes classified by researchers as a style or a variety. The second part of the article features a brief reference to the methods of population genetics. This part is followed by a description of the study which was conducted upon twins of different sex. The author attempts to account for the differences which are observed in the speech of women and men by making recourse to the opinions ofvarious researchers who make biological factors a point of departure of their considerations. Further on, the author interprets the results of research. The test which was designed by the author and which was used in the research is included in the supplement.

- Summary/Abstract:The article is devoted to the language of the message of public benefit organisations. The announcements of the organisations of this kind feature a simple, accessible language, as well as linguistic means which are characterised by a particular persuasive force. The authors of the message which encourages people to transfer 1% of their taxes for a public benefit organisation apply various uncomplicated linguistic means of persuasive force. In the present work, I described the means which are most frequently used by public benefit organisations. For the purpose of research I selected 200 posters which encourage people to support organisations which work for the benefit of: incurably sick children, children who live in poverty, elderly people, disabled people, firemen, animal shelters, wildlife preservation, as well as institutions which provide financial support to hospitals, hospices, rehabilitation centres, kindergartens, scouting organisations, academies, sports clubs and cultural initiatives.

- Summary/Abstract:Robert Makłowicz is a chef, traveller and food critic. He is a well-known figure thanks to the television programme which he hosts Makłowicz w podróży. As a media personality, Robert Makłowicz, constructs his image in a conscious way. A positive image among the recipients enables celebrities to gain or maintain popularity; it is frequently associated with other benefits, e.g. financial ones. After a presentation of the theoretical considerations about the phenomenon of an image in the media, the author proceeds to discuss the problems associated with the auto-creation of an image, disregarding an analysis of a television audience. Robert Makłowicz constructs his image by means of the clothes he wears, his peculiar mode of behaviour, and especially by his individual way of speaking. The features of his idiolect include inter alia an elevated style, syntactic inversion, surprising metaphors and similes, sophisticated epithets and neologisms. The linguistic message that he transmits is creative and original, which sets him apart from other television personalities.

- Summary/Abstract:Contemporary television strives to inform and entertain the viewers in order to encourage them to engage in continuous watching.

The analysis will enable to determine the shape and functions of this genre in a modern TV show.

- Summary/Abstract:The article features a postulate which was put forward in order to recognize the eponymous phenomenon as an autonomous genological entity which exists. A contribution to the considerations of the author is constituted by the numerous texts which appear, especially on the Internet social media website YouTube, which manifests many common features and whose authors seem to exhibit considerable discipline in the respecting of the convention which functions in the network. The bulk of the article constitutes an analysis of the postulated genre as far as four basic aspects are concerned: the structural, cognitive, pragmatic and stylistic aspects.
