Jeszcze o profesjonalizmach górniczych (neosemantyzmy)

Abstract

The subject of the discussion in the present paper refers to miners’ professionalisms – both technological terminology and vocabulary closely connected with the realities of miners’ professional work in the mines of Upper Silesia (e.g. descriptions of places, people, activities, etc.). The paper points out to different ways of enriching vocabulary in the miners’ professiolect. Particular attention was focused on semantic derivation which results in the creation of specific neosemanticisms with clear expressive tinge.
