The article is dealing with the place taken by language reflection in modern literary theory. Poststructural breakthrough in the Humanities had become a period of opening up to new inspiration, and most of all to “language learning”. Much more important than the direct impact of the deconstruction was a change of consciousness: hereby the structuralist paradigm as the dominant way of talking about literature became exhausted. One academic discourse was replaced by the multitude of languages , and the multiplicity of rhetoric. The certainty of interpretation was replaced by interpretative doubts. That distrust embraced everything: not only the methodology, but the literature itself. A literary work ceased to be an objective structure, and its meaning a function of order. In this situation of discipline language, as art material, becomes the object of special attention of authors and researchers. The significance of language experiments is present in modern Polish prose, especially in prose by Wiesław Myśliwski.
The article is devoted to the memory of Professor Franciszek Ziejka, Rector of Jagiellonian University (1999–2005) and presents the most important areas of his outstanding activity. The Professor was a historian of literature, an expert in Polish culture of XIX century – especially so called “Young Poland” period – and an excellent promoter of Polish literature and history. He had a significant impact on the development of academic life in Poland, as Chairman of the Conference of Rectors of Academic Schools in Poland and initiator of changes to the regulations governing higher education in Poland. Professor Franciszek Ziejka passed away 19 of July 2020.
The article concerns the specificity of the language in early prose works by Magdalena Tulli. The phenomena of literary grammar (a specific manner of operating abundance in the narrative, a particular type of arranging syntax and a creative use of colloquialism) allow one to consider this prose as an entropic story. Predominantly thanks to a characteristic dispersion of narrative energy, as well as chaotic moments, contrasting with readers’ expectations. Thanks to quoted examples and references to selected linguistic research concepts, yet another perspective on interpreting textual features in the works of the author of “Skaza”, which will in turn allow asking new questions about the exceptionality of stories included in this original poetic prose.

Artykuł dotyczy specyfiki języka wczesnych utworów prozatorskich Magdaleny Tulli. Zjawiska z obszaru gramatyki literackiej – specyficznego operowania nadmiarem w narracji, osobliwym typem składni aranżującej, a także twórczym wykorzystaniem potoczności – pozwalają przyjrzeć się tej prozie jako opowieści entropicznej. Przede wszystkim ze względu na charakterystyczne rozproszenie energii narracyjnej, jak również kontrastujące z czytelniczymi oczekiwaniami nieuporządkowanie. Dzięki przytoczonym przykładom i odniesieniom do wybranych koncepcji badawczych z obszaru językoznawstwa uruchomić można kolejną perspektywę namysłu nad cechami tekstów autorki „Skazy”, a dzięki temu – zadać nowe pytania o wyjątkowość opowieści zawartych w tej oryginalnie poetyckiej prozie.
