Jan Karlowicz, who has been long fiercely, though unjustly, criticized as a linguist (lexicographer and dialectologist), is currently re-discovered and esteemed as an organizer of scientific life. Karlowicz's contribution to the research on dialects is much more serious than what it has hitherto been considered, and it involves an aspect of his work that has been scarcely emphasized and appreciated; namely, ethnographical and dialectological field studies that he initiated and organized. His organizational work is attested in the prolific correspondence preserved e.g. in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives. It exemplifies Karlowicz's co-operation with both professional scientists and laymen (enthusiasts of folklore, dialects and of broadly understo...

His Diary reveals some phonetic, grammatical, and lexical features typical for that northern borderland variety of the Polish language. There are numerous examples of phonetic features that are not different from the contemporary Polish usage, but hardly any of them were present in the standard Polish of the nineteenth century. Baranauskas used many phonetic features that were characteristic for the northern borderland Polish dialect, e.g., different from the standard Polish distribution of and ; pronunciation of unstressed [e] and [o] as [a]; reduction of unstressed vowels; secondary palatalization and dispalatalization, especially dispalatalization of [n] and palatalization of [s], [z], [c], [dz] in the position before [k]. The two latter cases can be explained by the interference f...
