The book "Galeria Wschodnia. Dokumenty 1984-2017 / Documents 1984-2017" is a monumental presentation of the history of one of oldest artist-run spaces in Poland. Galeria Wschodnia is an important example of a successful self-organisation type initiative of artists and a centre whose history is symptomatic of the evolution in the movement of independent galleries. This crucial spot on the map of Polish art also confirms how many shades of meaning are hidden under the notion of independence. 00Galeria Wschodnia was founded back in 1984 on the initiative of, among others, Jerzy Grzegorski and Adam Klimczak, who took over a flat in Wschodnia Str.

The present monograph introduces a model of Beats-and-Binding phonology (B&B phonology), embedded in the epistemological framework of Natural Linguistics. B&B phonology operates with units called beats (B's) and relations called bindings. The syllable is epiphenomenal in the B&B approach to phonology and thus at most is a consequence of the operation of the B&B preferences. Universal phonotactic preferences follow directly from the binding preferences and unanimously refer to the Optimal Sonority Distance Principle. In order to demonstrate the explanatory potential of B&B phonology, a large number of diversified internal, historical and external sources of data are surveyed. Among the extern...
This book is the most complete phonology of contemporary Polish ever published. It is topic-oriented and presents the fundamental characteristics and problems associated with each topic, among them syllable structure, vowel-zero alternations, palatalizations, and other vowel and consonant changes. Professor Gussmann re-examines assumptions about phonological contrasts and alternations, and raises and addresses central questions in morphophonology. He takes morphophonology to be systematically separate from phonology. Palatalizations, he shows, are crucial to Polish, as both phonological and morphophonological phenomena: their detailed description leads him to a systematic presentation of vocalic alternations. The book develops a Government Phonology account of Polish, but is primarily a description of the language with the model subordinated to the organization of data. All the many examples used to illustrate the presentation are transcribed in standard IPA, and translated. This important book will interest all scholars and advanced students of Polish and Slavic phonology.
