Porada językowa w XIX wieku (na przykładzie wypowiedzi Fryderyka Skobla)

BARTŁOMIEJ CIEŚLA

Abstract

The article aims at a genological analysis of language advice offered by Fryderyk Skobel in his book entitled O skażeniu języka polskiego w dziennikach i w mowie potocznéj, osobliwie w Galicji (1871) [On the contamination of the Polish language in diaries and colloquial speech, specifically in Galicia]. It takes into account the four planes of the genre pattern − structural, stylistic, pragmatic and cognitive – as elaborated on by Maria Wojtak. The analysis conducted reveals a number of common features between language advice from the second half of the nineteenth century, the twentieth century and present-day texts. The similarities apply to every aspect of the pattern’s functioning, primarily the thematic threads and stylistic properties. The differences can be found in the linguistic self-presentation of the author, who considers himself an expert and mentor, strongly emphasizing his subjective perspective. Another distinction concerns the level of stylistic expressiveness: the advice under analysis carries a strong emotional tone, which is absent from contemporary texts belonging to this genre.
