Abstract
Andrzej Sztochel (1786–1846), the author of a grammar book, graduated from Jagiellonian University and was a teacher of Polish. Gramatyka historyczno-krytyczna języka polskiego (Historical and critical grammar of Polish), published posthumously, is one of two of his studies; it is dedicated to the science of the word, in particular infletional descriptions, in its entirety. The book is written in accordance with the historical method, which was innovative in Poland at that time. It stands out from grammar books of those days by its numerous references to proposals of other grammarians, writings by authors of old times, and dialectal pronunciation. Most of the then reviewers evaluated the grammar book negatively and not many contemporary researchers notice any innovativeness in it either. Keywords: historical–comparative method – diachronic linguistics – 19th century – Polish linguistics – Polish grammar books – Andrzej Sztochel.
