Abstract
The article initiates historical, linguistic, and textological research into the rich diaristic legacy of Emilia Wróblewska, née Beniowska (1830–1886), a Polish woman from the circle of Vilnius intelligentsia, who had wrttten intimate diaries for herself and her children for almost 30 years. The subject of exploratory study are the texts of the diaries kept by Wróblewska for her son Tadeusz in the years 1859–1886, and her daughter Maria in the years 1865–1873 (with an entry for Emilia’s younger son, Augustyn, added in 1886). The paper aims at identifying the most prominent features of spelling and linguisƟtic phenomena (regarding phonetics, inflection, syntax, vocabulary, and lexis) that can be qualified as regional features typical of the North-Eastern Borderlands(Kresy) in the diarist’s Polish language. A comparative method was used in the study; the material extracted from the diaries was confronted with the usage and developmental tendencies of the standard Polish language of the 19th century.
