Przemiany kulturowe a zanikające leksemy w języku mówionym mieszkańców wsi południowo-wschodniej Rzeszowszczyzny

Abstrakt

A characteristic feature of the modern rural lexical system is its dichotomous division into the dialectal and non-dialectal words. The said division results from the now interweaving two cultural trends in the country: a rustic, traditional one and a foreign one implanted from the city.

In dialectal lexis of the inhabitants of the south-eastern part of the Rzeszów Region, you can easily spot the names of former realities related to the vanishing rural culture which the oldest generation still identifies strongly with.

Taking into account the continuing vanishing or absolute disappearance, the names analysed in the paper fall into 3 categories:

a) names of designata that vanished definitely and are only still remembered by the oldest generation, for instance: przyzba;

b) names of designata that are vanishing, for instance: drapaka;

c) archaic names of the existing designata, for instance: warzocha.
