In her paper the authoress is analyzing South Silesian vocabulary referring to names of fiancées, brides, fiancés, grooms, and to expressions concerning period between proposal and marriage like: to be affianced, betrothed, engaged to be married. Some of those words are very old and archaic (for example 'snymby', 'wiesieli'); other include semantic evolution or change. For example: the Polish archaic lexeme 'niewiasta' ('women' or 'wife') changed its meaning under the influence of the Czech 'bride'. To a lesser extend the paper describes that period in its cultural, ethnic, religious and social context. She also touches upon superstitions, magical practices, wedding songs and ritual speeches related to it. She often refers to Lucjan Malinowski's research. He was probably the first Polish linguist and ethnographer, who described the Silesian wedding ceremonies (Wisla, 1859).

This paper discusses an issue of the Carpathian lexical group in southern Silesian dialects on the Czech - Polish borderland (gwary cieszynskie). Some vocabulary of this Carpathian group can be partially linked to the history of Walachian settlements that had been established in a broader Carpathian Mountains area during the 16th - 17th century. This article gives a genetic and semantic description of the following words: 'gielata', 'gnot', 'gowiydz', 'grapa', 'grón', 'grudka', 'gunia' and offers an explanation on how or from which areas these words were transmitted into the Silesian dialects (gwary cieszynskie). This analyses proves a consistency in usage of these particular words in the eastern Polish subcarpathian region (Podkarpacie) - generally one word possessed a single phonetic and semantic variant. However, a more differentiated 'lexical situation' can be observed in the southwestern part of this region, including the area the above mentioned dialects were spoken. Especially, semantic changes of the words of 'gielata' and 'gunia' point to an important process: the further to the West, and the bigger the distance from their lexical source was, the narrower became their semantic fields.
