Życiorys językowy Adama Mickiewicza a problem monografii jego języka

Abstract

The linguistic biography of Adam Mickiewicz and the problem of a monograph on his language Summary The academic level of the future monograph on the language and style of Mickiewicz will be largely dependent on utilising knowledge on the poet’s linguistic biography. I mean here the influence of domestic and regional language on the idiom of the author of “Pan Tadeusz”, his education and the impact of literary works on his linguistic development, knowledge of foreign languages, linguistic interests, and familiarity with Linde’s dictionary. The author recalls, reviews, and complements previous results of studies on Mickiewicz’s linguistic biography carried out by J. Trypućko and Z. Klemensiewicz.
