Polish 'Partner Nouns
This paper examines the varieties and gender status of ‘partner nouns’ in Polish, including wujostwo ‘uncle and wife’, profesorostwo ‘professor and wife’, and other such nouns which belong to a dying breed of nouns referring to marital partners. As small as this class of nouns is, their examination raises several issues. Among other things it involves us in an examination of whether or not partner nouns can combine with numerals, for on this ques…
Oboje (both-collective) Normative Grammar, the Polish National Corpus, Google, and Contemporary Standard Polish
This article examines the contemporary Polish usage of the collective numeral oboje/obydwoje (both)1 in order to highlight, on the example of this one word, used in the nominative case, differences that can arise between (a) what people should say according to authorities on correct usage; (b) what people actually do say according to the growing body of writing and speech contained both in the Polish National Corpus and in the search engine Googl…

The Polish Duel and Its Last Apologia
The "code of honor" as most people know it is a set of assumptions and expectations about what a person is entitled–indeed, is obliged by social custom–to do when "insulted" in order to preserve his personal self-respect and public dignity. In a word, to defend his "honor"–leading in more serious instances (nowadays, mostly in novels and films) to challenging one’s offender to a duel. However, few in our time would know how to stage a duel if cal…

Spatial Cognition and the Semantics of Prepositions in English, Polish, and Russian
Facultative Animacy in Polish
INTRODUCTION. 'Grammatical' gender is a largely semantically empty noun trait whose existence is typically revealed through the triggering of agreement rules on the part of items in a sentence with which the noun is in construction. For example, the fact that the Latin word res is feminine in gender requires that the modifying adjective public- take the feminine ending -a. 'Natural' gender refers to perceptual categories with which people tend to…
