Abstracts

EN

The main characters of Boża podszewka (God’s Lining) are well-known to a broad audience primarily from the 1990s TV series, which was quite controversial for residents of the Eastern Borderlands because it demystifi ed the picture of this region and a Polish family. The TV series is based on a partly autobiographical novel by Teresa Lubkiewicz-Urbanowicz, published under the same title. The object of the study is the addressatives used by members of the Jurewicz family presented in the novel. This analysis is a sociolinguistic one and therefore it focuses on the relationships within the family of the main characters. Equivalent relationships (husband – wife) and inequivalent ones (mother – child) are highlighted. The aim of this analysis is to indicate the manifestations and determinants of the language etiquette which is realised by the addressative system. The examination leads to the conclusion that the system depends on non-language factors (the place of the recipient and the sender in the social hierarchy, the communication situation) on the one hand and on linguistic factors such as styling for the Eastern Borderlands Polish language (with numerous characteristic diminutives, suffi xes with -eńk-) on the other hand. This system is customised and varied rather than automatic. The examination of addressative forms of Boża podszewka’s characters confi rms the insights of researchers about the demystifying picture of a typical Polish family living in the Eastern Borderlands region.
