Językoznawstwo polonistyczne na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim dawniej i dziś (w 10 rocznicę powstania Wydziału Polonistyki UJ)

The paper presents a synthesis of the history and achievements of Polish linguistics cultivated at the Jagiellonian University since the second half of the 19th century till this day. The beginnings are the first lectures which discussed the Polish language, followed by the creation of chairs, then the institute, and finally a separate Faculty of Polish Studies. The author interweaves the institutional and personal threads, and indicates the most important figures of old professors whose works were central to the development of Polish linguistics and its various fields.
