- Title
Archaic Words of Eastern Slavic Origin in Publicistic Writing of Boleslav Prus.

Махницка, Виолетта
- Abstract
The article deals with the archaic words in Boleslav Prus's chronicle. These words were borrowed from Eastern-Slavic languages and taken into the Polish language. First of all, the author refers to information from different dictionaries and treats the lexemes under discussion as archaic, historical ones. A significant part of archaic words were created under the influence of the Russian language. The influence was conditioned by Polish and Russian contacts during conventions and meetings. Former Russian borrowings are mainly historical words, which denominate administrative and institutional phenomena of the 19th century, names of currency units till 1918, and names of measures, which were used before introducing decimal system. Some Russian words underwent Polish influence and got additional emotional colouring. In some cases the Polish language borrowed only meanings of the Russian words. It resulted in new semantic calques. In the writing of Aleksandr Glovadskij a small number of archaic words can be met. They make calques in the Ukrainian and Byelorussian languages.
