Steele‑Richardson‑Olszewski syndrome also known as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system of extrapyramidal type of neuropathy of unknown etiology. This chapter describes the case of 62 patients diagnosed with PSP, the changes they observe are related to selective linguistic dysfunction resulting from subcortical dementia and executive and motor dysfunction, and the functioning of the subject is significantly determined by emotional disturbance. Zespół Steele’a‑Richardsona‑Olszewskiego, znany także jako progresywne porażenie nadjądrowe (PSP), to choroba neurodegeneracyjna ośrodkowego układu nerwowego o typie pozapiramidalnym o nieznanej etiologii. W artykule opisano przypadek 62‑letniego pacjenta, u którego rozpoznano PSP. Obserwowane u niego zmiany dotyczą zaburzeń w sferze emocjonalnej, wybiórczych zaburzeń kompetencji lingwistycznej, wynikających z obecności demencji korowo‑podkorowej oraz dysfunkcji motorycznych.

Main topic of this article is the link between dialectology and local microtoponymy. Microtoponyms are unofficial forms that are not recorded in administrative documents. They have only limited use in local comunities. So they reflect dilectal features of vernacular. The toponyms from Krushevo region contain all features of Krushevo dialect, as: the phonetic, phnological, morphological, lexical and the sintactical one.

The author studies Polish and (as far as the sources were available) Indo–European forenames and surnames that are derived from the root word woda ‘water’: among the forenames the author has found only the Latin nickname (cognomen) Aquensis, derivate of an adjective aquensis, -is, -e ‘connected with water’: aqua, -ae ‘water’. Contemporary Polish surnames derived from the root word woda ‘water’ have been written out from Słownik nazwisk współcześnie w Polsce używanych [The Dictionary of Surnames Contemporarily Used in Poland], vol. I–X published by Kazimierz Rymut (Kraków 1992–1994) and from Middle Polish period (16th–18th century) from regional surname studies by different authors. In Pomeranian region in Old Polish period (until the end of 15th century) none of the surnames of interest were confirmed, there were also few in Middle Polish period. Relatively many surnames are derived from Upper German noun Wasser and its Lower German equivalent Wader or Water. The written out surnames are presented in derivation lines such as: Woda > Wodak > Wodacki. In the study there are: 1) surnames with double motivation, e.g. Wodan from the name of the main German god or from common noun Woda with suffix -an; 2) compound word e.g. Koliwoda, Paliwoda, Woziwoda, that may be derived from old common nouns (appellatives) paliwoda ‘a very reckless man, a madcap’, woziwoda ‘someone who supplied water to the residents’.

Approximately in the 1st quarter of the I millennium AD the uttermost south-east area of Common Slavonic place names appear on North Azov shores and Don basin, and it contains that endemic hydronymy till today, despite the constant desertions, migrations, and settlement of different ethnic groups there. This region attracted attention of numerous home historians and philologists in XIX–XX centuries. That made possible to survey the greater part of archaic place names.

The topic of the article are modern oyco- and anoyconymes of Turek district collected during field exploration. Historical material was also included to show changes taking place in toponimic classes over the years. Local and field names are categories of proper names that continue to appear but also disappear. Basing on the materials included in this work, the process of disappearance of local names can be observed as well as inclusion of smaller villages into larger settlements. Thus the character of the name remains the same, it is still an oyconym, but its function changes. The reverse process can also be observed, meaning the change of name character from oyconyme to anoyconyme, as the names of former villages are currently used for physiographic uninhabited objects. Processes related to creation of topographic names and shifting of oyco- and anoyconymes are supported with rich naming material. The article concludes by statement that mutual shifting of nomen apellativum and nomen proprium has cultural, not linguistic character, as the changes do not affect the system; character of names does not change, but their function does.

The aim of this article is to study features of language at children starting to learn at school or being at the first educational stage. From the synthetical perspective there have been presented language features at six‑, seven‑, eight‑ and nine‑year old children understood as characteristic features of a child, in other words its language differs from the language of other children. The age of examined children is particularly interesting because the results of the test provide us with some knowledge both, when it comes to the language efficiency of children starting school as well as those who have already been students for some time and are on the verge of the programme leap. The research shows that the students dispose of the wide range of vocabulary but they are not always able to use it properly while building an utterance what can be connected with the so‑called school maturity. In the regard of sound analysis of an utterance, it is necessary to point out the knowledge of language competence consistent with operative phonetic language norm, however there often appears simplifying of the consonantal groups, distortion of numerous words as well as replacing the most difficult sounds with the easier ones.

The author carried out her research in an attempt to analyse the concomitance between the tongue’s primary motor patterns (based on primary functions, like swallowing and breathing) and non‑normative features in the articulation of vowels in adults. The presented study has been conducted on two groups of adults; the study group consisted of 42 patients with an incorrect swallowing and tongue at rest posture but without any coexisting structural impairments; the control group (n = 35) had no structural nor functional abnormalities. The obtained results indicate that abnormal swallowing and tongue at rest posture may lead to some disruption in vowel production, manifested by undesirable dorsality and/or nasal resonance.

The paper presents the results of research on microtoponymy expressed by litoralonyms and pelaghialonyms of two neighboring lakes in the Dobrzyńskie Lake District (Eastern extremity of Dobrzyń nad Wisłą Land): Lakes Szczutowskie and Urszulewskie. Litoralonyms (L) are defined as names of inhabited or uninhabited points and area of the waterfront; pelaghialonyms (P) instead are names of lake fishing depths or areas on the surface of the water, recognized and used by local communities. The names of the L- and P-type meet in many cases, features interchangeable or joint in their function. They are motivated by topography, forms of the surrounding landscape and the natural state of the lake, but especially by a large extent of the human factor, i.e. anthroponyms associated with building plots along the shoreline, and the names of the components of rural infrastructure.

Toponymy, both macro and micro, function in a linguistic reality that influence and change it. In the north – west region of Spain, Galicia, after years of strong, centralized, supporting only Spanish language policy led by General Francisco Franco, was the era of democratization and resulted in the return to original names in the Galician language. This process has been slow, because even though regulations are clear and officially changed toponyms administrative function in reality the words do not always coincide with the real use of them by the Galician people. Until now, in the minds of many people, Spanish toponyms function and not their official version in Galician. Language policy carried out in Galicia affects not only the education and the media, but also something that affects our daily life, though rarely we pay attention to it, i.e. the toponyms.

Introduction. The quality of substitute speech with laryngectomees patients with or without the implanted voice prosthesis type Provox II on the bases of two clinical cases was compared. Material and methods. The evaluation of voice was compared on the bases of two patients treated in Otolaryngological and Laryngological Oncology Clinic. The patients K.P. aged 46 (medical history number 2778/2008) who, on March 12, 2008 underwent total laryngectomy with the Rethie method including the removal of left thyroid lobe due to thyroid and larynx cancer. The patients D.K. ages 44 (medical history number 13705/2010) who on November 4, 2010 underwent total laryngectomy with the Rethie method including selective lymphe node operation of Region II on the right side with the implanting of the voice prosthesis type Provox II due to larynx cancer. Each patients was instructed on tracheostomy care and systematic performing of the fallowing exercises: diaphragmatic‑ribbed tract breathing loosening masseter muscle system and esophageal sphincter, the use of lauder reflection in the process of voice production, the method of obtaining loud reflection lengthening of the time of phonation and eliminating breath sounds. The evaluation of the quality of substitutive speech was performed after three months. Results. On the basis of the conversation with the patients, it turned out that the patient with the implanted voice prosthesis had better quality of substitutive speech and better communication possibility. Conclusions. The learned substitutive speech with the interoperatively implanted the voice prosthesis type P. II turned out to be the best way of communication.

The professional terminology related to their activities which left its impact on hydronyms have become the subject of our analysis. Wydane z udziałem środków dziekana Wydziału Filologicznego UŁ

Przedstawione w artykule zagadnienie koresponduje tematycznie z dotychczas publikowanymi pracami, podejmującymi problem rozwoju systemu słowotwórczego u dzieci w ontogenezie mowy. Badania nad zjawiskami słowotwórczymi w mowie dziecka, szczególnie w odniesieniu do czasownika, są wciąż jeszcze konsekwentnie pomijane i zajmują nieproporcjonalnie mniej miejsca w porównaniu do innych podsystemów języka: fonologicznego, fleksyjnego czy składniowego. Jeśli podejmowane są próby charakterystyki zjawisk słowotwórczych, zwykle ograniczają się one do rzeczowników i przymiotników, a do opisu czasownika podchodzi się z reguły na zasadzie pewnych statystyk procentowych lub opisuje się tzw. akwizycję wyrazów z określonych kręgów tematycznych. Tymczasem to właśnie za pomocą środków słowotwórczych nazywamy otaczający nas świat, wyrażamy swoiste, szczegółowe sensy znaczeniowe i doprecyzowujemy nasze wypowiedzi. Głównym założeniem artykułu jest uzupełnienie istniejących prac z zakresu przyswajania systemu słowotwórczego przez dzieci w ontogenezie mowy o słowotwórstwo werbalne, a przede wszystkim ukazanie mechanizmów tworzenia czasownikowych derywatów paradygmatycznych (niedokonanych, iteratywnych oraz perfektywnych), którym dotychczas poświęcono niewiele uwagi. Pozyskany materiał językowy, pochodzący od dzieci 3,5‑letnich, rozwijających się zgodnie z normą umysłową, stał się podstawą do zaobserwowania takich zjawisk językowych w zakresie werbalnego słowotwórstwa paradygmatycznego, jak: zastępowanie ogólnopolskiego wykładnika sufiksalnego innym, np.: lecić, siedzić, uprzyć (lecieć, siedzieć, uprać), dodawanie przyrostka do form bezsufiksalnych np.: obtnąć, pojdnąć, umiejnąć (obciąć, pójść, umieć), usuwanie formantu, np.: uklęc, wybuć (uklęknąć, wybuchnąć) oraz całkowita modyfikacja zarówno tematu słowotwórczego, jak i sufiksu, np.: poszuć, zbiąć (pójść, zebrać).

The article shows and describes names of small rural spaces registered in the 19th century notarial acts from the area of Łuków. There are over 300 units, the names of the so called lands, semantically and structurally varied, excluding the names of waterways that are not represented in the research material. The way of description of these microtoponyms doesn’t leave any doubt that they are proper names being connected with locating and characterizing functions, serving as landmarks in defining the borders of fields, meadows, forests and succession possessions. The material from Łuków reveals the specific concentration of names, including topographic motivation, having the largest share in the creation of these units, followed by possessive and cultural ones. These names are generally, structurally and semantically transparent with reference to the historical names of Mazovia. Wydane z udziałem środków dziekana Wydziału Filologicznego UŁ

The basis of these considerations is a noun “birch”, which, due to its popularity of marked designatum, creates quite a considerable source of appelatives and toponyms. This become evident in considerable in morphological and semantic differentiation of toponyms developed based on them. The basic type is made of names that we directly derive from nouns and adjectives related with the noun “birch”, the second type comprises of names created one the toponomastic level.

Hodonyms function as symbols and convey information about relations between the inhabitants of the city. Considered as signs, they stigmatize space and, by references to different cultures, they reflect the demographic structure, in particular, the ethnic one. The article attempts to classify names of streets, squares and parks according to their references to the different cultures. The analysis was conducted on the example of the center of Subotica, a multicultural city in Serbia, near the border with Hungary. The next step was to present the phenomena on maps, which was done for three historical periods: the interwar, the Communist era and current state. The first two are based on maps from 1928 and 1968, and the current one is based on field research curried out in September 2011. The information obtained in this way was compared to the census results of different periods, analyzing the relationship between demographic structure and the information stored in the hodonyms. The analysis confirmed the possibility of using this method in terms of synchronic and diachronic viewpoint. Wydane z udziałem środków dziekana Wydziału Filologicznego UŁ

The paper is a partial study which refers to the processing of Slovak hydronymy within the Hydronymia Slovaciae project in mapping the names of water courses in the Eastern Slovakia. The research is carried out within the project Synchronic-diachronic aspects of the Hornad basin hydronymy (VEGA 1/0359/12). This article deals primarily with extralinguistic aspects of selected hydronyms. We selectively focus on the oldest documented hydronyms which are assumed to motivate other toponyms (for example settlements names). The contribution is based on an initial analysis of particular names, the evidence is acquired by extracts from maps and studies of materials relating mainly to the earliest, documented hydronyms from the Torysa basin. The Torysa is an important and the longest tributary river in the Hornád river basin. Its length is 129 kilometres. The oldest traces of settlement in the northern part of the Šariš stool are connected with this river. The aim of the article is to describe hydronyms which are motivated by the appellative base with the focus on the most common motivation – type of vegetation, landform and human activity associated with settlement (mainly inaccessible places). It also adds some comments on the influence of the Hungarian language, which allowed conserving some original speech sounds known in the oldest periods of Slovak language – for example the nasal consonant, the consonant g. These partial results of research in the study of the Torysa basin in Eastern Slovakia enrich the existing research and they also give opportunity to compare the appellative bases of names with the current findings of other Slovak outputs in the area of the hydronymia of Slovakia.

Refering to the oldest hydronymia from Southwestern Slovakia which is the oldest Slavic state, we provide the examples of the old Slavic lexical layer fund. These appellative vocabulary is undifferentiated (or only minimally differentiated) in Slovak dialects, but also in the Slavic languages. In earlier documents and hydronymical material we also find the old petrified vocabulary that could gradually change its original semantic structure in the Slavic languages (or in Slovak language). There are also the examples of the elements of appellative vocabulary. In the process of development of Slavic base these linguistic units could gradually pass and become a part of the vocabulary of the so called edge of the language; they could lose or modify its phonetic form. The author analyzes the proper names from Žitný ostrov (Rye Island) (between the Danube River and the Little Danube), which is considered Slovakia–Hungary, and from the immediate surroundings. Preliminary analysis shows that the names of the rivers in this area are of domestic (Slovak) origin, the historically younger names of marshes and wetlands are instead of Hungarian origin.

There is no doubt that toponyms constitute an unusually valuable source of knowledge about a given territory. Geographical names retain the most essential characteristics which make up their distinctive and unique images. Thus, oiconyms, anoiconyms, hydronyms or oronyms are becoming extremely important elements which build a sense of territorial identity in the inhabitants of any area. The mentioned findings also refer to the toponyms from the Krajna region. Because of many controversies concerning the precise geographical scope of this region located on the borderland between Great Poland and Pomerania, these inquiries assume that its area coincides with the borders of the old, pre-partition Nakło Poviat. The subject of the article is the analysis of the Krajna oiconyms carried out by paying special attention to the linguistic, cultural, historical and natural factors of the region. The characterization of the local names includes first of all an etymological-motivational aspect, giving special consideration to their cultural character. However, the fundamental aim of this study is an attempt to reconstruct the linguistic, cultural, historical and natural image of the Krajna region based on the names of towns, villages, settlements and colonies.

The article discusses the work of German historian Wolfgang Rothe which is valuable for onomastic research regarding the Protestant parishes in the area of the former East Prussia (now the area of the parishes lies partly in Poland and partly in Russia). Born in the family of Salzburg settlers, the laureate of Gołdap prize “Romincki Lynx” with the help of former residents of these areas, and with his work he collected seven volumes (the eighth one in preparation) of very reliable and extensive historical documentation (including onomastic ones: records of names of settlements taken from different documents, settlements list of family names, first names and occupations of inhabitants up to year 1938). Wolfgang Rothe documented also the reality of that time on maps, photographs and plans of the various villages and settlements, supplementing those with the memories of former residents of respective parishes and glossary of interesting lexemes and phrasemes. This material allows filling a number of history white spots (the history of toponymy and anthroponymy) of the area. Wydane z udziałem środków dziekana Wydziału Filologicznego UŁ

Definitions of terms masticatory system and vocal organs are used as introduction to analysis of their relations. Articulation involves masticatory and respiratory systems the primary functions of which are different from generation of sounds and particularly speech. However, proper and consistent action of these systems is indispensable for generation of understandable words. The paper presents basic properties of structure and functions of masticatory system at various levels of its development. Particular attention was concentrated on all elements of mascicatory system (lips, dental arches, tongue, palate, and muscles of temporomandibular joints) on shaping mechanisms of speech.

The village of Stryhantsi of Tysmenytsya District, Ivano-Frankivsk Region is located 30 km northeast of regional centre – city of Ivano-Frankivsk. It is considered to be founded in 1624. The village was mentioned on the map of the French engineer-cartographer Le Vasseur de Beauplan since 1650. Its basic part is located in a wide valley of the right bank of Dniester, 2–3 km of the very river. Local oro-objects are actively included into economic activity of people. Peculiarity of geographical location of the village and agricultural areas lies in the fact that part of them is located in the valley of Dniester, and the other part is located on tops of surrounding mountains which form a single plateau within a certain distance of the village that stretches to the east of the village towards Dniester. Therefore, both generalizing names (Na Hori, Na Dolyni) and specific names as to each separate mountain (na Stintsi, na Serednyomu Horbi, na Hirtsi, nad Zbochem) are used in colloquial speech. Modern oronymy of the village of Stryhantsi and its surroundings (in the language of Stryhantsi residents) is based on folk geographical lexis. Mountains surrounding the village and at the foot of which it is partially located have proper names formed in lexico-semantic way from appellatives which function either in Ukrainian literary language or in dialect speech: Hirka, Zbich, Seredniy Horb, Stinka, Skala. There are no proper names of foreign origin in oronymy of the village of Stryhantsi. Modern oronymy of the village of Stryhantsi and its surroundings is based on folk geographical lexicon.

The text presents an opinion in the discussion on the etymology of the choronym Polska / Polonia. The author argues with Przemysław Urbańczyk, who claims that the name of Polons and Polonia has no connection with the tribe of Polans. On the contrary the opinion presented in the article maintains the historical truth according to which the Polans, whose name was mentioned, spread in the larger territory than the region inhabited originally by them. The author cites other similar examples in the history of tribes, nations and the formation of their denominative identity. Wydane z udziałem środków dziekana Wydziału Filologicznego UŁ
