EVOLUZIONE DELLA TERMINOLOGIA GRAMMATICALE NEI MANUALI DI LINGUA ITALIANA PER POLACCHI (XVII–XIX S.)

The subject of research is that of changes in grammatical terminology that can be observed on the basis of four course books of Italian language for Poles published between 1675 and 1869. The first of them is marked by the Latin terminology that manifests in the adaptation of Latin terms as well as in the direct translation of their basic meaning into Polish. Moreover, the instability of terminology results in the co-occurrence of various forms of the Polish term or in the co-occurrence of Polish and Latin terms. The other two course books by anonymous authors, which seem to be adaptations of French course books, do not include Latin terminology, whereas names for word classes are, with a few exceptions, consistent with the Polish nomenclature devised by the Commission of National Education in the Enlightenment. In comparison to the previous course books, the last one involved in this research is more modern with regards to solutions that are typical for articles and other categories that are characteristic of Romance languages.
