Abstract
The paper discusses stereotypes and the linguistic worldview as reflected
in Adam Patačić’s 18th-century manuscript dictionary. Recent ethnolinguistic
research has taken dictionaries as an important source for research trends in
the Polish (Lublin) ethnolinguistic school. Patačić’s dictionary is noteworthy
for its analysis, which occasionally borders with the encyclopaedic approach
in its structure, as vocabulary is thematically divided and analysed within individual chapters by semantic field. As the manuscript of Patačić’s dictionary is
extremely large (more than 1,000 written pages), the paper will focus on two
chapters we consider may serve as a rich source of data on stereotypes: Chapter
7 in the first part of the dictionary (De Homine, et partibus Humani corporis
internis ac externis) and Chapter 9 in the second part (Infamia et poenis digna).
