Właściwości fonetyczne i fleksyjne języka familijnego Joachima Lelewela (na podstawie listów do najbliższych)

Abstract

The subject of the article are phonetic and inflexive properties of the family language of Joachim Lelewel. The analysis combines the sociolinguistic perspective with the historical and linguistic perspective. Substantial basis consists in two volumes of correspondence written in many places visited by the historian at different stages of his life to his parents and siblings. The analysis was conducted in a two fold manner — the excerpted phenomena were referenced back to the resources of the general Polish language system contemporary to the writer and to the north-borderland dialect and to the masovian dialect. The basic distinction of Lelewel’s family language in field of phonetics and inflection is its variants and presence of archaic and regional elements.
