In her discussion of the romance by Elżbieta Drużbacka, the author identifies the stylistic preferences of this 18th-century poet: her phraseology, lexicon and syntax. The language of the piece reveals two prominent influences: the overall literary tradition of the period and, equally significant, the colloquial speech of the time and its collocations. Equally noteworthy is the poet’s rich vocabulary which attains its heights in sentences that resort to enumerations, a device relatively common in the general sentence structure of the piece.
