Abstrakt angielski

Gramatyka współczesnej polszczyzny kulturalnej (= Grammar of the contemporary cultural Polish) (1st edition: 1939), as intended by its author, Zenon Klemensiewicz, was supposed to be a popular science publication addressed to non-professionals. The synthetic, merely 180-page-long, work was divided into the following chapters: Nauka o głosce (Sound science) (phonetics and phonology), Nauka o wyrazie (Word science) (morphology: word formation and inflection as well as semantics and etymology), and Nauka o zdaniu (Sentence science) (syntax in classical terms). Each of them is composed of paragraphs and ends with supplementary bibliography. The author does not use specialised terminology, makes his lecture clearer by illustrating it with numerous tables, and gives attention to proper language use.
The publication enjoyed high popularity, it was reprinted in 1946, and released twice in 1947. In 1952, it was retitled: Podstawowe wiadomości z gramatyki języka polskiego (Rudiments of Polish grammar) and published as an academic textbook. There were as many as 15 editions of this version, also after the author’s death. The last one was released in 2001.
