Abstract
In the article the author puts the question, is it possible to apply the semantic model of syntax to diachronic research. In the current works on historical syntax two research directions have dominated : traditional syntax and structuralism. These methodologies only, to some extent, made it possible to describe phenomena occurring in the development of the Polish syntactic constructions. The model presented in “Gramatyka wspolczesnego jezyka polskiego. Skladnia” was collated with the conception of the medieval Polish syntax proposed by Krązynska, Mika and Sloboda. The aim of the article is to indicate those syntactic phenomena which can be employed and those elements of the semantic model which are in need of modification to become a useful tool for diachronic interpretation of linguistic facts. The text constitutes one of many comments in the discussion about the relation between diachrony and synchrony in linguistics.
