Obecność Profesora, czyli Andrzeja Zieniewicza przypadki przez niegoż samego opisane

Author(s): Grzegorz Leszczyński / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In the autobiographic story "Little Pole in Asia Minor", Andrzej Zieniewicz, a contemporary literature historian with an air of detachment, describes his glottodidactic experiences in teaching Polish language to the Turks. As in his research papers, in "Little Pole…" Zieniewicz proves that the author is still present in the artistic work, reveals himself and provokes the reader. This is because the subject of the narrative is literary expressed experiences, thoughts and imaginations of the author. In prose described as silva rerum, these experiences are fragmentary and subjective. The author is a figure prior to the narrator, and the matter of the narrative itself is inconsistent, incoherent and fragmentary reality of human cognition.

Czesław Miłosz jako glottodydaktyk

Author(s): Justyna Zych / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article argues that calling Czesław Miłosz a popularizer of Polish literature and language is fully legitimate. The author presents arguments which corroborate this statement, describing the poet’s initiatives dedicated to promoting Polish literature and language. In the paper, the following aspects of Miłosz’s activity have been described: his literary work, created solely in Polish and often devoted to the author’s native language, his professional activity as a professor of Polish studies at Berkeley, including the authorship of the textbook of Polish literature for foreigners, and his translation accomplishments, namely numerous translations of Polish poets’ works, several published anthologies of Polish poetry in English and educating future translators of Polish literature. Miłosz’s excellent sense of needs and interests of foreigners studying Polish has been particularly emphasized in the article, as it conditioned the success of his prolific activity within popularization of Polish culture.

Zakopane 1928 – pierwszy w historii wakacyjny kurs kultury polskiej (i języka polskiego) dla cudzoziemców

Author(s): Piotr Kajak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This article constitutes another part of my research on the history of teaching Polish as a foreign language in the world.

I also explore a very dynamic growth of Polish studies in Italy in the 1920s and 1930s.

"Kintsugi" na lektoracie jpjo, czyli o poszukiwaniu piękna w niedoskonałości – propozycja glottodydaktyczna do realizacji wybranych Celów Zrównoważonego Rozwoju

Author(s): Anna Rabczuk / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The Sustainable Development Goals include tasks aimed at improving life in the most important areas of human activity. Their implementation is necessary for the present and future generations to be able to use the broadly understood resources of the Earth in sustainable and conscientious ways, to enjoy a good quality of life, to support each other and create equal opportunities. The article attempts to answer the question of whether Polish as a foreign language can become a pretext for the implementation of selected Sustainable Development Goals. The article analyzes the assumptions included in the 2030 Agenda, and then focuses on those tasks aimed at “transforming our world”, which may function as inspirations toward the creation of didactic materials on language courses. It also explores the selected criteria for choosing a literary text for classes consisting of foreigners. After strictly theoretical considerations, the author refers to the classical theories of ‘the rites of passage’ explored by Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner. These theories become a germane tool for describing the condition of a person who leaves his/her country in order to live in a new culture and create his/her identity anew. We can observe such stages in the life of the main character of Joanna Bator’s novel “Purezento”. Certain fragments from the text – particularly those devoted to kintsugi – the Japanese art of repairing ceramics, and in the metaphorical sense the art of filling scars with gold, transforming trauma into beauty, become an inspiration for the author to pursue the Sustainable Development Goals in Polish classes with foreigners. In addition, she suggests a number of tasks that may be used for students working at C1 level.

Dziś jest moje umieranie – o "Metempsychozie", ostatnim tomie wierszy Jarosława Marka Rymkiewicza

Author(s): Olga Masiuk / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This article is an analysis of Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s last book of poems. The poet has often expressed sharp and divisive political opinions. Although his literary works frequently constitute controversial manifestos, such statements do not appear in "Metempsychoza". These very personal poems speak about the universal problem of dying, thus uniting readers and involving them in the text. This volume seems to be a new peculiar version of "Dziady": Rymkiewicz both performs the ritual communion of the living with the dead, and creates a text that can be read as an attempt to transcend the work of Mickiewicz (with whom he was fascinated and to whom he devoted many books). The poet uses myths, plays intertextual games with the works of other poets, builds an interesting rhythmic form of an octostich. Thanks to these procedures, he distracts the readers’ attention and hides himself – the main character of these poems – a man who meets his own death. "Metempsychoza" becomes a moving testimony of dying – daring and masterful.

Polskie dzieła sztuki, które mogą nadszarpnąć nerwy* i dlatego warto o nich mówić (*lub: poruszyć, oburzyć, rozbawić)

Author(s): Katarzyna Kołak-Danyi / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Polish contemporary art, including art in public space, in addition to all its functions (such as expressive, symbolic, ludic, cognitive or critical), can also play a diagnostic role for the condition of Polish society. Art in Poland is a field of ideological disputes, and frequently divisions and scandals resulting from an overly literal reading of meanings or looking for one-sided associations. On the other hand, artistic creation provides examples of activities that integrate, engage and produce social effects. Presenting artifacts and topics raised by artists provides an opportunity to show foreign audiences these issues, which are vivid and discussed in Polish society in relation to their own worldviews and native culture, and allows to create a space for intercultural dialogue.

Author(s): Tomasz Wegner / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The research was limited to YouTube.

Leo Lipski, Sławomir Mrożek

Author(s): Olga Hellich / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author starts with a general outline of the speech therapy’s and literary studies’ perspective of reading the text by a writer with aphasia. The main part of the article discusses the strategies adopted by Leo Lipski and Sławomir Mrożek for recovering – learning – language(s) after both writers experienced this speech disorder. The author discusses and compares these strategies, functionalized and thematized in the literary and the autobiographical works of Lipski and Mrożek, and in this attempt she refers to published texts as well as the archives. Contextually, she also reconstructs the problems of multilingualism and emigration related to their works. The author concludes that, despite many differences between the experiences of both writers, the methods of learning Polish after suffering aphasia, which were adopted and described by them, are very similar.

O białoruskiej rewolucji z perspektywy antropolożki wsi

Author(s): Anna Engelking / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is devoted to the discourse of the 2020 Belarusian revolution, which the author analyses from the perspective of her long experience of ethnographic fieldwork in Belarusian villages. The discourse expresses values characteristic of the peasant ethos and, at the same time, constitutive of contemporary Belarusian culture, shaped by civilian, not military, values. The author focuses on three key, interconnected values: life, the human being, and dignity, together with their antiviolence orientation. She points out that the Belarusian cultural matrix appears to be universalism: it highly values bonds that create a humanistic, aideological community of equals. It is a pragmatic community concerned with life and survival. The ethical dimension of the Belarusian revolution is characteristic of a culture that draws primarily from the ethos of peasants, not one of nobles or the Romantic paradigm infused with nationalism.

Беларуская мова ў нефілалагічным студэнцкім асяроддзі Беларускага дзяржаўнага ўніверсітэта

Author(s): Vieranika Bandarovič / Language(s): Belarusian Publication Year: 0

The purpose of the study was to find out how much the Belarusian language is in demand among modern youth – namely, those who have chosen a non-philological course of study – in order to predict the future fate of the Belarusian language. It turned out that the Belarusian youth mostly speaks the language of the nation at an average level. The respondents also considered the level of Belarusian language teaching in general education institutions to be average. For the majority of young people, the Belarusian language is an attribute of a separate people and a value that needs to be protected. They assume the responsibility for expanding the use of the Belarusian language and do not leave it to the state.

Produktywne typy słowotwórcze odprzymiotnikowych osobowych nazw nosicieli cech z formantami sufiksalnymi w języku białoruskim

Author(s): Agnieszka Goral / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is devoted to the personal names of feature bearers in Belarusian. Over 200 noun derivatives formed by suffixation from adjective and adjectival participle stems were analyzed. The material comes from the author’s file and Belarusian lexicographical sources and scientific works. The lexical corpus is presented according to the most productive word-formation types, including names with the suffixes -ец // -эц // -ац; -ак // -як and -iк // -ык. The study is conducted using descriptive and statistical methods. The derivatives selected for the analysis were classified according to two groups of meaning (names of people according to external and internal features) and then described from the point of view of word-formation structure. The study that in the analyzed lexical units, the (qualitative) feature underlying the derivation process acquires intensity, which leads to the blurring of any other (potential) personal features expressed in the referent. Some derivatives have a stylistic (expressive) character. The collected material proves that the suffix has a semantic and/or stylistic function and that the derivation itself is mutational.

Пытаньне табуізацыі і эўфэмізацыі беларускай сэксуальнай і плоцевай лексыкі: дыдактычны аспэкт

Author(s): Uladzislau Ivanou / Language(s): Belarusian Publication Year: 0

The sexual and corporeal vocabulary of the Belarusian language is still extremely taboo and euphemized. At the academic level, however, it remains underdeveloped due to primarily extralinguistic factors, such as the ideological and moralistic attitudes of the Soviet and now Belarusian society. At the level of the history of language, literature, folklore, as well as on the example of modern Belarusian dialects, sexual vocabulary is actively used and developed. This gap is especially evident during teaching and translating into Belarusian. The article attempts to explain the gap between practice and theory and suggests ways out of the impasse.

Фарміраванне «нацыянальнага ўзору» тапаніміі на старонках першых беларускамоўных газет «Наша Доля» і «Наша Нива» (1906–1907 гг.)

Author(s): Viktar Korbut / Language(s): Belarusian Publication Year: 0

The article analyses the first examples of the systematic use of the Belarusian-language version of toponyms in the mass media from 1906–1907: in the Vilna (Vilnius) newspapers "Nasza Dola" and "Nasza Niwa". Some of the forms of toponyms used in these weeklies are the same as contemporary ones: Брэст, Вілейка, Віцебск, Глыбокае, Гомель, Гродна, Заслаўе, Магілёў, Мікалаеўшчына, Мінск, Навагрудак, Полацк, Рагачоў, Смаргонь, Стоўбцы and others. At the same time, other forms of the names of some of these settlements appear, borrowed both from the Russian language or spelling tradition: Вітебск, Глубокае; and from Polish: Брэсць, Вітэбск, Гродно, Магілеў. The names Ашмяна, Смаргоні, Стоўпцы may be derived from Belarusian-Polish linguistic practice. The town of Маладзечна is referred to only in the form Маладэчна. The name Менск appears in the first Belarusian newspapers only in 1906, sometimes in parallel with Мінск, and from 1907, only Мінск is used. The formation of the “national pattern” (the term introduced by the Belarusian researcher Iryna Haponienka) of Belarusian toponymy in the first Belarusian-language newspapers reflects the complex process of the formation of Belarusian national identity. This process was significantly influenced by Polish, but above all by Russian. This explains the similarity of the forms of many toponyms in "Nasza Dola" and "Nasza Niwa" in 1906–1907 and in contemporary Belarusian literary language, which, in turn, underwent a strong Russification after the reform of spelling (in fact, grammar) in 1933, as well as the official change of the form Менск to Мінск in 1939.

Białoruska łacinka w drugiej połowie XIX w.: realizacja akania i jakania w gazecie „Mužyckaja Praŭda”

Author(s): Maria Katarzyna Prenner / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article deals with the Belarusian Latin script in the second half of the 19th century, which the author analyses on the basis of the first illegal newspaper in the Belarusian language, "Mužyckaja Praŭda". The paper focuses on the realization or non-realization of akan’e and jakan’e, two important vocalic phenomena. Significantly, the newspaper was published during the pre-orthographic phase of the Belarusian language, which was characterized by a great inconsistency in orthography. The article aims to note the distribution of the realization and non-realization of the above-mentioned phenomena and in this way trace possible trends in the evolution of Belarusian orthography. In a corpus-based analysis, the two phenomena are studied according to parts of speech, which allows exploring whether phonetical (or even morphological) criteria might have influenced the realization of akan’e and jakan’e in "Mužyckaja Praŭda".

Аналіз лексікі беларускай гаворкі найстарэйшага пакалення мястэчка Крынкі

Author(s): Mateusz Jan Kwiatkowski / Language(s): Belarusian Publication Year: 0

The subject of research is the Belarusian subdialect from the town of Krynki (Podlaskie Voivodeship), which was analyzed lexically. The words for analysis were taken from the conversations with the residents of Krynki recorded by the author in 2020. These people have known the local subdialect since they were children. As for the subdialect itself, it is used in Podlasie (in the modern sense; historically, this region would be called Lithuania). In previous centuries, Podlasie was also populated by Baltic tribes, which affected local subdialects as well. The analysis showed that the dominant part of the vocabulary in this subdialect is of indigenous (Belarusian) origin. The next biggest group are loanwords from Polish, of which there are 185. (The words chosen for the analysis – 247 in total – were characteristic of this subdialect and/or nonexistent in literary language. In some cases, a word was assigned to several groups because it was impossible to determine its etymology). Besides words of Polish origin, words of Russian (22), German (6), Romance and Latin (3) origin were identified. The largest group of loanwords came from the Polish language, which makes sense, given that Krynki are located in Poland. Other loanwords are evidence of contacts with other nations, but it should be emphasized that the dominant part of the vocabulary remains indigenous, i.e., Belarusian.
