In 1917, it announced a questionnaire to determine, in the new political situation, the state and needs of various scientific disciplines studied in Poland and by Polish scholars in Europe. Collected from the answers of 90 scholars representing various disciplines, the results were meant to help direct the actions of the Fund in the country reborn after a period of partition. The paper presents the views of linguists Jan Rozwadowski, Kazimierz Nitsch, Stanisław Szober, and Aleksander Brückner, on the state of Polish linguistics of the time, and their proposals for research projects, needs in the area of scientific literature, organizational actions, and education of linguists and popularization of linguistics. Their articles show a realistic evaluation of the state of Polish linguistic science, and very clearly specified plans aimed at raising Polish linguistics to the European level.</p> ER -
