EN
The article outlines the history of Slavic etymological lexicography and presents a concise characterization of Slavic of etymological dictionaries. The first Slavic etymological dictionaries by Matzenauer, Miklosich, and the Russian dictionary by Gorjaev were compiled in the late nineteenth century. However, a number of comparative dictionaries and dictionaries of word formation had been published even before those dictionaries. Although few dictionaries were published in the first half of the twentieth century, the second half of that century was a period of true prosperity of Slavic etymological lexicography. Most etymological dictionaries were published during that time, including a number of multivolume dictionaries whose publication continues to the present day. More new dictionaries are being published or edited in this century. The paper presents scientific etymological dictionaries and historical and etymological dictionaries, as well as selected dictionaries addressed to non-specialist audience, including dictionaries of Proto-Slavic and Balto-Slavic lexicology and etymological dictionaries of individual Slavic languages (excluding the Polish dictionaries discussed in the previous volume of “Rocznik Slawistyczny”), which are either completed or in progress. The paper also addresses a novel issue in Slavic etymology, namely the publication of etymological dictionaries of some Slavic dialects. Moreover, the paper discusses specialized types of etymological dictionaries that contain information relevant to etymological studies, such as dictionaries of borrowings, proper names, and idioms.

The present writer comments upon Wiesław Borys’s article on etymological research in Poland. (1) The present writer claims that in all languages the form of words depends on three main factors, not only on regular sound change and analogical development, but also on what he calls irregular sound change due to frequency. Word groups, words and morphemes which are very frequently used sometimes show irregular reductions, e. g. Polish wasza milosc > wasc, podobno > pono or *(děl)-ajetь > (dzial)-a. The present writer reproaches Borys that he does not mention irregular sound change due to frequency although in Polish texts this development sometimes occurs in more than 60% of cases. (2) The present writer criticizes the laryngeal theory. (3) The present writer criticizes Kurylowicz’s opinion according to which the Indo-European apophony e/o was of analogical origin. (4) The present writer draws attention to an important difference between his theory of irregular sound change due to frequency, which concerns all languages of the world, and Winter’s “law” which deals only with one language, namely Balto-Slav.

This article presents the history and the current state of etymology research in Poland as well as a detailed description of main works written by Polish etymologists. It analyzes research methods, ways of description and the scientific value of etymological dictionaries of Polish (edited by A. Bruckner, F. Slawski, A. Bankowski, and W. Borys), popular etymological dictionaries of Polish (edited by K. Dlugosz-Kurczabowa and I. Malmor), diachronic etymological dictionaries of Old Polish (edited by W. Decyk-Zieba and S. Dubisz), and the first Slavic etymological dictionary of a dialect, namely a dictionary of Kashubian (edited by W. Borys and H. Popowska-Taborska). Moreover, the paper discusses etymological dictionaries of other languages edited by Polish scholars. These include the etymological dictionary of Proto-Slavic (edited by F. Slawski), Polabian (edited by K. Polanski), and Lithuanian (edited by W. Smoczynski). Finally, the paper points out the current needs of Polish etymology, in particular the necessity of compiling an etymological dictionary that would include contemporary, old, and dialectal vocabulary of Polish.
