Keywords: Florian Psalter; linguistic research; inflection of Old Polish possessive pronouns
Summary/Abstract: The article first briefly presents the results of earlier studies by philologists and linguists who were mainly interested in the issue of territorial genesis and filiation of the Polish part of the monument (W. Nehring, A. Brückner, W. Taszycki, S. Rospond, and V. Kyas) and monographs on the language and style of the monument created in the Łódź environment. Some newer works on the lexis of the Psalter (B. Grzeszczuk, S. Koziara) and its Latin (M. Kuźmicki) and German (H. Tiefenbach and R. Hanamann) parts are also presented.Then, linguistic facts were listed that deserve a more detailed description and possibly new interpretations, which would require the revision of many of the findings so far. Some fragments of monographs could lose their value in terms of graphs and especially phonetics, if they were not based on an analysis of the manuscript. The issue of dialectisms requires reconsideration. Although the current analysis of the vocabulary has retained its value, there are also significant gaps here- especially the lexical connections of part A with the Czech psalters have not received new interpretations. There is still a lot to be explored in terms of design as well. There is still no systematic description of word formation, the syntax of part A and the syntax of a complex sentence have not been developed, therefore a dictionary of synsemantic words has not been created either.Finally, an example of a description and interpretation of one of the linguistic phenomena attested in the Psalter is presented, which is the tendency to equalize the number of syllables in the inflectional paradigm, visible here in the inflection of possessive pronouns.
