Historia składni języka polskiego Krystyny Pisarkowej – świadectwo zmiany i źródło inspiracji

Abstract

Krystyna Pisarkowa’s The History of Polish Syntax – The Testimony of Change and the Source of Inspiration The author of the article shows Krystyna Pisarkowa’s monograph as a text which presents a diachronic approach to Polish syntax in a new and modern way, taking into account the times and the Polish linguistic tradition. Focusing on discontinuous phenomena in the history of the Polish language, Pisarkowa separates tendencies and processes typical of each syntactic level. Not only does she discuss traditionally described elements of simple and complex utterances, but she also takes into account the semantic structure of sentences and their pragmatic aspect. Therefore, Historia składni języka polskiego [The History of Polish Syntax] is a testimony of a methodological change and a quest for adequate solutions, as well as a source of inspiration for further generations of researchers.
