In this article we will review persuasive language devices used in Jan Kochanowski’s prose texts that vary in terms of text genres, forms, length and purpose of expression. All the discussed works of the poet belong to different text genres, such as: social and political journalism, moralist treatise, historical treatise, funeral speech, short witty anecdotes and stories. The text analysis proves that there are often conjunctions at the beginning of many sentences. These words not only link sentence components or complex sentences but they also determine the cohesion of larger units than sentences and mark a referential function. Kochanowski often incorporates parentheses, citing and rhetorical questions. As a result, a persuasive function is achieved due to the choice of an utterance form and a text genre, appropriate selection of stylistic devices enhancing persuasion and text construction forms and, last but not least, adequate lexical diversity. In his style Kochanowski followed the rules of rhetoric characteristic of the 16th century. The low/plain style had a didactic purpose, the middle style was chosen to praise or to reprimand others and the high/grand style was limited to texts referring to matters of great importance.

The article focusses on commentary as a text genre in the daily press. The aim of the first part is to present the prototypical marks and characteristic differences of the genre as well as its conditions. The second part discusses possible ways of broadening the genre pattern on the basis of the analysed samples from the daily press of different ranges: newspapers of nationwide, regional, and local range according to selected criteria. The article strives to answer the question about the form of the contemporary press commentary. It also attempts to explain the reasons why journalists tend to depart from the pattern of the genre.

W artykule omawia się osobliwe realizacje dekalogu i kodeksu drogowego – teksty które przekroczyły granice swego prymarnego stylowego i dyskursywnego osadzenia. W pierwszym wypadku przeniesione na obszar dyskursu dydaktycznego i poradnikowego o charakterze ludycznym (przesuniecie na osi kontekst religijny–kontekst świecki), w drugim z prawno-administracyjnego na religijny. Międzystylowa migracja gatunków jest – zdaniem autorki – wyrazem obserwowanego współcześnie otwarcia rejestrów stylistycznych innych niż artystyczny. Na przykładzie dekalogu pokazano zjawisko transakcentacji gatunkowej, związane z modyfikacją funkcji w konkretnej tekstowej realizacji gatunku (użycie ironiczne lub parodystyczne). Na przykładzie kodeksu drogowego – zjawisko rozszerzenia lub zacierania granic stylu religijnego, poddawanego współcześnie, szczególnie w pododmianie katechetycznej, różnego typu zabiegom uatrakcyjniającym, w tym z wykorzystaniem gatunkowych upodobnień.

This article discusses intriguing text realizations of the genres of Ten Commandments and the Highway Code as texts that reached beyond their primary stylistic and discursive setting. In the former case, the text departed from its original religious contextualization to move towards a lay context, also acquiring a ludic aspect. In the latter, the Code moved from the domain of administrative law to be incorporated within the religious framework of references. These two cases illustrate the phenomenon of the stylistic migration of text genres, which – as observed by the author – results from the contemporary openness of stylistic registers other than the literary ones. The case of the Decalogue illustrates changes of accentuation (salience) in a particular text genre, which results from the modification of its communicative functions in a particular text realization of the genre (e.g. irony or parody). The case of the Highway Code illustrates the phenomenon of either expanding or fuzzy boundaries of the religious style – undergoing diverse attempts to make it more attractive to contemporary audiences, particularly in its catechetic variant. These attempts often rely on building genre similarities and comparisons.
