Pisma Krzysztofa Kluka jako źródło leksykalne do Słownika języka polskiego S.B. Lindego

The aim of this paper is to discuss the writings by Krzysztof Kluk (1739–1796), a naturalist of the Enlightenment, the author of Dykcjonarz roślinny (Dictionary of plants) and guidebooks in the fi elds of botany, zoology, and mineralogy as lexical sources of Słownik języka polskiego (Dictionary of Polish) by S.B. Linde (LD). The paper presents an analysis of the material excerpted from Volumes 1 and 3 of LD, which has allowed the estimation that K. Kluk is discussed more frequently in the dictionary than J. Kochanowski, P. Kochanowski, J. Przybylski, and only slightly less frequently than M. Rej and W. Potocki. The material has been analysed also with the use of the method of semantic fields, which has enabled identification of the thematic circles that allow the determination of the angle from which S.B. Linde excerpted vocabulary from K. Kluk’s writings. The lexis from Kluk’s works in LD is not limited only to names of plants, animals or minerals; it covers also parts of the body, animal husbandry (e.g. horses, birds, bee-keeping, fishery), gardening, agriculture, animal diseases, metal and mineral working, transport, construction, home appliances, food, clothes, and social life.
