Współ-powiedzenie… O funkcji wielokropka w języku ogólnym i w poezji Bolesława Leśmiana

CO-SAYING. ON THE FUNCTION OF ELLIPSIS IN GENERAL POLISH, AND IN BOLESŁAW LEŚMIAN’S POETRY The goal of the paper is to identify the function of ellipsis in general Polish, and in Bolesław Leśmian’s poetry. This author assumes that ellipsis corresponds to a specific intonation, has a code character, and belongs to the group of dialogic perspective operators (cf. Wajszczuk 2005). Its function is simply an appeal to the addressee, to complete the utterance with specific content by themselves. The unit is used creatively by Bolesław Leśmian. In his poetry, co-saying serves to express the transcendence of three boundaries set by the oppositions I : you, here : there, yes : no.
