Morphological variants of the verb być ‘to be’ in the speech of the inhabitants of Spisz: based on corpus data The article discusses the morphological differences in the verb być ‘to be’ in the Spisz dialect. The material has been excerpted from the Spisz Dialect Corpus. The author presents the characteristic forms, and extracts from them the different types of inflection, while providing the number of occurrences of all of the forms in the corpus.
