Zagadnienie motywacji w gniazdowym opisie słowotwórstwa gwarowego (na przykładzie gwary orawskiej)

Abstract

The Question of Motivation in Nest-Oriented Description of Dialectal Word Formation (Using the Example of the Orava Dialect)

The paper discusses word formation’s most important notion, i.e. the motivation, in respect to nestoriented descriptions. The first part presents the difficulties which arise in the traditional, as well as in the nest-oriented description of word formation of general Polish (mutual motivation, multiple motivations, indirect and direct motivation, base and accompanying motivation, equivalent motivation). In the second part, these problems of motivation, resulting from the specificity of dialectal material, are being discussed. This part also formulates methodological suggestions about the creation of certain nests which are more difficult to analyse. The final part tackles the question of mutual dependence between the model of word formation, and the speaker’s word formation intuition (awareness, competence).
