This paper is concerned with language change in Polish resulting from the ‘restoration’ of the Tridentine Mass in the Roman Catholic Church on the basis of Motu proprio Summorum Pontificum issued by Benedict XVI. The change in question has to do with the appearance of new Latin lexical borrowings in Polish as well as the ‘reactivation’ of those earlier, but somewhat forgotten, Latinate items. Although the process is limited in scope and might have a temporary character, it is an interesting instance of the influence of extra linguistic events on language.

Aspects of Ferdinand de Saussure’s linguistic theorizing that have exerted a profound influence on the development of modern linguistics include his view on the relation between form and meaning/function. Indeed, the very relation underlies his concept of linguistic sign. The signifying-signified dichotomy appears to be a point of departure for a number of current theoretical paradigms. This paper attempts to point to the fact that de Saussure’s conception of the link between form and function has inspired the treatment of this relation in two modern approaches: generative grammar and construction grammar. It seems that the notion of phase, crucial to the derivational mechanism in the most recent version of Chomsky’s (1995, 2001, 2008) generative grammar, i.e. the Minimalist Program, and the concept of construction in Goldberg’s (1995, 2003, 2006) construction grammar elaborate on de Saussure’s perspective on form and meaning/function. Obviously, both modern approaches go beyond de Saussure’s conception and differ from one another due to distinct theoretical and methodological assumptions.
