Gwarowe dopowiedzenie juści / a juści jako przykład leksykalizacji dawnych struktur składniowych

THE DIALECTAL APPOSITION (COMPLEMENT) “JUŚCI/A JUŚCI” AS AN EXAMPLE OF LEXICALIZATION OF OLD SYNTACTIC STRUCTURES A significant part of the Old Polish heritage in terms of lexis typical of spoken language, confirming the primary nature of Old Polish, has irretrievably disappeared in modern Polish, which has been shaped under the overwhelming influence of writing and patterns of indirect communication. This generally known fact is confirmed by Krystyna Kleszczowa’s research (Kleszczowa 2015; Kleszczowa, Szczepanek 2014) on the genesis of particles and the contents of the “Dictionary of Forgotten Functional Expressions” (Pawelec 2015). In this situation, the researcher can turn to dialects which often better preserve lexical mementos of past ages. This is also the case with the dialectal affirmative complement (and particle) juści/a juści. The author of the presentation attempts to establish the genesis, semantic structure and categorical value of this unit, which shows functional similarity to the standard Polish expressions: a jakże, oczywiście, właśnie, no pewnie, etc.
