Inżynieria lingwistyczna a obecna sytuacja językoznawstwa polskiego

Abstract

Linguistic engineering and the current situation of Polish linguistics The thesis of this reply to Piotr Żmigrodzki’s pessimistic diagnosis (published in the previous issue of „LingVaria”) of Polish linguistics from the perspective of modern lexicography is that the diagnosis from the perspective of linguistic engineering must be equally pessimistic – in fact, even more so. We argue that syntax and – to some extent – semantics are developed in Poland in isolation from developments outside Poland and the resulting analyses too often do not meet the usual criteria of preciseness and formal rigour. We end with an optimistic note showing that fruitful cooperation between computational and theoretical linguists is possible – even if rare – in Poland.
