Krakowskie listy Jana Baudouina de Courtenay do Jana Karłowicza z 1894 r.

Abstract

Cracow Letters of Jan Baudouin de Courtenay to Jan Karłowicz from 1894 The presented correspondence includes nine letters and nine postcards from 1894, sent by Jan Baudouin de Courtenay to Jan Karłowicz. Among other things, it shows the scientific and extra-scientific relations in Cracow in the last decade of the 19th century – although, owing to the person of the addressee, it also refers to Warsaw. The main scientific topics are 1) comments on the etymology of lexemes studied by J. Karłowicz for a dictionary of foreign words which were used in Polish and had a less clear origin; 2) matters related to changes in Polish orthography; and 3) comments on the edition of the so-called Warsaw dictionary.
