Kilka uwag o zjawiskach z zakresu konsonantyzmu w międzywojennej polszczyźnie północnokresowej (na przykładzie Kuriera Wileńskiego)

Abstract

In the given article one finds selected phonetic phenomena relating to the consonant system functioning in the inter-war north borderland Polish language, namely: liquid consonant, that is l and ł usage mixing, s voicing and gemination (consonant geminating) and degemination, that is the lack of gemination. All annuals of Kurier Wileński have been explored, the annual published in the capital of Vilnius region in the period 1924–1939 and addressed to the whole Polish society. The analysis of the language sample has proved that the gathered phonetisms are thought to have been characteristic for Polish language of north and east Borderland for a few centuries. Liquid consonants (l and ł) have proved to be of highest test frequency in the studied newspaper.
