Tomasz Szumski’s prescriptive views in the workDokładna nauka języka i stylu polskiego(Learning the Polish language and style thoroughly)SummaryThe aim of this paper is to present Tomasz Szumski’s prescriptive views.Dokładna nauka języka i stylu polskiego (Learning the Polish languageand style thoroughly) is not a highly popular work, yet one deserving attentionas it combines a grammatical description of the Polish language with therules governing its use, including a lecture on communication behaviours.It is a systematic and a clearly prescriptive lecture of good Polish, where theauthor distinguishes three levels of command of the language. It includesnot only a description of grammatical rules but also guidance regardingproper pronunciation, text construction and delivery. The rules formulated byT. Szumski are expressly oriented towards addressees with the aim to make themfeel comfortable; they are also conditions of an effective utterance/statement.The study is embedded in the European grammatical and rhetorical tradition.Historical, national, literary, and aesthetic criteria, although unnamed directly,are clear in the author’s thinking about the language.Keywords: history of language – language teaching – language culture – languagecommunication – language norm assessment criteria – Tomasz Szumski.
