Janiny Porazińskiej dialog z tradycją

Abstract

The article discusses the elements of tradition in the language of Janina Porazińska’s chil- dren’s fiction. The vocabulary of her prose, with elements such as compounds, diminutives, determining adjectives and neologisms, can be divided into two categories: 1) words which come from the folklore of the Lublin area and thus belong to the dialectal lexicon; 2) neolo- gisms created by the writer, which imitate the structure of dialectal vocabulary and serve the purpose of rendering her texts more poetic.
