Synopsis
ON THE ROAD WITH DIALECT
The paper offers a scientific, yet also personal, perspective on the dialectological achievements of the eminent Cracow linguist, Professor Józef Kąś. It highlights the most important dimensions of his rich scholarly personality and work. Special attention has been paid to Kąś’s great contribution to the fields of dialectal lexicography, his innovative approach to the description of dialectal vocabular (moving away from the differential model), and the popularization of knowledge about the Highladners’ dialects of the Podtatrze region. The paper contains multiple references to scientific discussions and disputes that have shaped the face of contemporary Polish dialectology.
