O potrzebie zastosowania terminu wernakularyzacja w polskich badaniach historycznojęzykowych

Abstract

On the Need for the Term Vernacularization in Polish Historical Linguistic Research In European science, the thought about the beginnings of the written national language is accompanied by the study of the process of vernacularization – understood as the entering of the national language into (at first exclusively Latin) texts. This paper aims to show the usefulness of the term vernacularization in Polish historical linguistic research. The author analyses how it is used and interpreted in European Mediaeval studies, and indicates and discusses selected Old Polish monuments which instantiate the various stages of the process.
