Wykładniki sarmatyzmu we frazeologii dawniej i dziś – na przykładzie utworów Wacława Potockiego i frazeologizmów współczesnych.

The insuffi cient number of studies dedicated to the phraseology of worksby Wacław Potocki (1621–1696) encouraged the author to examine this areaof the Sarmatian writer’s oeuvre. This paper presents the outcome of a lexicaland semantic analysis of 40 idioms excerpted from three representative worksby the poet: Ogród nie plewiony (Unweeded Garden), Moralia (Morals), andTransakcja wojny chocimskiej (Transaction of the Hotin War). Based on theadopted material sample, an attempt was made to identify the characteristics ofSarmatism, a cultural formation of the Commonwealth the main representativeof which was W. Potocki. To this end, the collected expressions and phrases wereclassifi ed by three thematic fi elds that were signifi cant for the sociolect of thenobility ( , , ). An important complementation ofthe analysis of the Baroque phraseology is tracking it until modern times. Theconducted comparative research of the lexical resources of the Polish languagein its two distant periods showed that, despite the over three hundred yearsbetween the examined materials, the sarmatisation of language has still beena significant component of the Polish culture.
