Item 3. Od redakcji(Adam Mickiewicz University Press, 2011) Schab, Sylwia; Skrzypek, Dominika; Zborowski, PiotrItem A Runic Prayer(Katedra Skandynawistyki UAM, 2011) Skrzypek, DominikaContrary to modern view of the runes as symbols and bearers of pagan traditions, the mediaeval runic inscriptions found in Scandinavia bear witness of making use of the indigenous alphabet to serve the new religion, Christianity. In this paper a number of inscriptions are analyzed with respect to the prayer formula that typically is a part of a text commemorating the dead. Different runic masters are found to have been more or less theologically educated in the tenets of the new religion. The prayer formulas show a changing society, reorienting from the pagan traditions towards the christian ones.Item Äldre and Yngre Västgötalagen – some linguistic evidence(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2009) Skrzypek, DominikaThe article studies two of the oldest Swedish texts, the legal codices from the province of Västergötland, 'Äldre Västgötalagen' (ÄVL), dated at 1225 and 'Yngre Västgötalagen' (YVL), dated at ca 1280. The younger of the texts is a continuation of the older one and includes several additions. The texts are compared with particular respect to the nominal categories – the developing definiteness and the declining case. In particular, the definite forms are studied in much detail. The results confirm an earlier hypothesis that the younger text is based on a copy of the older one different from the one in our possession today. Also, it substantiates the claim that this missing original was more archaic than the one surviving today.Item Between a demonstrative and an article. The status of "in" in Old Swedish(Katedra Skandynawistyki UAM, 2010) Skrzypek, DominikaThe definite article in the Modern Nordic languages is a suffix, etymologically related to a demonstrative. The form is not attested in runic inscriptions, the oldest linguistic sources, but first appears in Icelandic sagas as well as in Swedish and Danish legal codices from 13th century onwards. However, in these texts it does not appear with the same regularity as in modern languages. The Old Swedish form constitutes an intermediate form between a demonstrative, from which it is derived, and the article it has become in Modern Swedish. In the oldest texts it appears in contexts where demonstratives can only be found sporadically and its form suggests it no longer is a demonstrative. At the same time it is not yet obligatory. The aim of this paper is to show the grammaticalization of the definite article as a gradual, dynamic process, involving changes in the form and functional scope of the grammaticalizing item and to consider the properties of the Old Swedish form -in, derived from the distal demonstrative hin ‘that’.Item Debatten om svenskans ställning i Europa(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2003) Skrzypek, DominikaSwedish EU-access in January 1995 triggered off a widespread linguistic debatę on the futurę of the Swedish language in the united Europę. Despite its status as one of the Union's ofRcial languages, Swedish is often referred to as a minority language threatened by English. The debatę mentions current language policies of the E U , linguistic and non-linguistic aspects of the influence of one language on another and presents a number of solutions strengthening the status of the weaker language. Both the arguments and proposals can be interesting as new accessions are awaited and the debatę on Europeanisation is present even in the Polish linguistics.Item Grammaticalization of (in)definiteness in Swedish(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2012-09) Skrzypek, DominikaModern Swedish is an article language which in the course of its history has developed both definite and indefinite articles. The present study focuses on the grammaticalization of the postponed definite -IN, etymologically the demonstrative pronoun hinn 'yon' and the indefinite EN, whose source is the numeral 'one'. Both grammaticalizations originate with textual uses of the forms: the demonstrative to mark anaphora and the numeral to mark new, persistent referents. The processes are interdependent: the indefinite article does not grammaticalize before the grammaticalization of the definite has been triggered and its development restricts the spread of the definite article to specific uses. Since both grammaticalizations have the same sources in unrelated article languages, this detailed study of the developments in Swedish has a bearing on the studies of other languages as well.Item Nordiska ordaccenter ur andraspråksperspektiv(Wydział Neofilologii UAM w Poznaniu, 2016) Michalski, Maciej; Majer, Anna; Skrzypek, Dominika; Skommer, GrzegorzItem O określoności narracyjnej w "Bibliotece Kapitana Nemo" P.O.

Pismo, odczyty, interpretacje(Wydawnictwo Rys, 2020) Skrzypek, DominikaItem Svenskan i Poznań. Studenttexter från Institutionen för skandinavistik(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Skrzypek, Dominika; Niewiarowska-Rasmussen, Ewa; Zborowski, Piotr; Żmuda-Trzebiatowska, MagdalenaThe present volume is a collection of short articles based on BA and MA theses written by stu-dents of the Swedish philology and Scandinavian studies. The papers span from Swedish literature studies to Swedish linguistics, including such subjects as Polish-Swedish contrastive grammar, historical linguistics including runology and translation studies. Three papers were written by teachers from the department, including an overview of the subjects chosen for the BA and MA theses within Scandinavian studies in Poland.Item Textual origins of the indefinite article in Swedish(Versita, 2013) Skrzypek, DominikaThe present paper studies the earliest stages of the grammaticalization of indefinite article in Old Swedish. The study is based on a corpus of Old Swedish texts and uses the model of grammaticalization as proposed by Heine 1997. The article en, etymologically related to the numeral ‘one’, is first used to mark new and salient discourse-referents and its primary function is cataphoric. However, en only fulfills this function when ocurring in a sentence-initial subject NP. In the course of the grammaticalization, neither the sentence-initial position nor the subject function of the NP are required to present new and salient discourse referents.Item VI Spotkania naukowe badaczy historii języka(Wydawnictwo Rys, 2020) Buncler, Anna; Dolatowski, Marek; Grochowska-Reiter, Anna; Hrynkiewicz-Adamskich, Bożena; Jabłonka, Edyta; Jakubowicz, Mariola; Kaszewski, Marek; L.
