Z badań nad językiem piśmiennictwa nowogródzkiego z okresu międzywojennego. 3. Elementy kresowe i inne osobliwości językowe w międzywojennym „Życiu Nowogródzkim”

Abstract

In the inter‑war period, a number of press titles appeared in Nowogródek, but chief among them was “Życie Nowogródzkie”. Several dozen issues of this periodical/daily bear witness to the rare phonetic, inflectional, word‑making and syntactic features of Borderland Polish. Much more numerous are Borderland dialect words, words and phrases more frequently used in the Borderlands, and other peculiar words (archaisms, words now obsolete, words rarely used, “neologisms,” idiolectisms and phrasal idioms). 165 such language forms have been recorded. All volumes of “Życie Nowogródzkie” are deserving of detailed study.
