Dokładna nauka języka i stylu polskiego w dwóch częściach. Cz. 1 Tomasza Szumskiego .

Abstract

Tomasz Szumski (1778–1840) was a polyglot, teacher, bookseller, author of school textbooks, associated with Greater Poland. His grammar book, released in 1809, is the first Polish-language grammar book of the Polish language published in the 19th century where the grammatical description of Polish is made independent of the description of Latin. It is at the same time the first known 19th-century grammar of Polish where the author dared to polemicise with Onufry Kopczyński’s ideas contained in the Polish–Lati n Grammatyka dla szkół narodowych (Grammar for national schools). Keywords: school grammar books – Polish linguistics – 19th century – Tomasz Szumski – Onufry Kopczyński
