Abstract

This article investigates to what extent modern historical grammars of Polish present the Indo-European background of the Polish language and make use of hypotheses of contemporary Indo-European linguistics, in particular the so-called laryngeal theory. It is shown that all of the available historical grammars of Polish present an essentially outdated state of research concerning the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European language and that the reason for that is the lack of modern compendia in Polish on the current state of research in Indo-European linguistics. It is claimed that the compilation of such a work will enable the interested scholars to use the modern theories of Indo-European linguistics in the research on the development of the Polish language.
