Lidia Przymuszała

Abstract

The subject of the observations made in the article are old lexemes related to the thematic field CULINARY (documented in lexicons of historical Polish language, mostly unknown to the users of the contemporary language, which have been preserved in Silesian dialects to this day. The aim of the study is to present and discuss these lexemes from different thematic fields (such as NAMES OF DISHES AND THEIR INGREDIENTS; NAMES OF FURNITURE AND KITCHEN FACILITIES; NAMES OF DISHWARE; NAMES OF MEAL; NAMES OF ACTIVITIES RELATED TO EATING), showing their historical continuity, as well as demonstrating formal and semantic relations between the old word and the dialect. The material basis of the text constitute 45 selected lexemes concerning widely understood culinary, which were excerpted from Leksykon dziedzictwa kulinarnego Śląska [Lexicon of the Culinary Heritage of Silesia] (by Lidia Przymuszała and Dorota Świtała-Trybek), as well as Słownik gwar śląskich [Dictionary of Silesian Dialects] (ed. Bogusław Wyderka). The text meets with the postulate of the needs for research on dialectal culinary vocabulary and on the linguistic history of Polish cuisine, combining both of these issues.
