Siedem pojedynków ze skradającym się krabem
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In this linguistically-philological essay, the author familiarizes the reader with lexical richness of the Polish language. Designing a crossword containing 100 letters, according to the scrabble rules, he conducts an analysis of earlier masterly constellations (the record in 2006 was 3973) in order to go beyond the limits of 400 points, which he forecasted in “Teksty Drugie” in 1990. So as to get the record results, the author was forced to figure out the strategy of filigrene (‘granulations’), consisting in adding a letter after the letter of extension (e.g. BA, BAR, BARĆ or AR, ARA, ARAK) as well as using the technique of a combination of three 15-letter with 10-letter as well as 8-letter words to avoid any “useless” (non-functional) word. The basis of the game is the exploitation of all contemporary dictionaries and infrequent words (e.g. “zadosyćuczyńmyż”, it being incredible for most of the Poles). Dans son assai linguistique-philologique, l’auteur expose devant le lecteur la richesse lexicale de la langue polonaise. Pour composer un mot croisé avec 100 lettres, selon les règles du jeu Scrabble, il entreprend une analyse des compositions de champion (le record du 2006 est de 3973 points) pour dépasser le niveau de 4000 points, ce qu’il a annoncé dans « Teksty Drugie » en 1990. Pour obtenir ces résultats du record, l’auteur devait inventer la stratégie des filigranes (« granulations »), qui repose sur l’addition d’une lettre après une autre des prolongations (p.ex. BA, BAR, BARĆ ou AR, ARA, ARAK), et aussi sur l’emploi de la technique d’assemblage de trois mots à 15 lettres avec un mot à 10 lettres et des mots à 8 lettres, pour éviter des mots « superflus » (non fonctionnels). La base pour ce jeu est l’utilisation de tous les dictionnaires contemporains et des mots rares (p.ex. un impératif invraisemblable pour la majorité des Polonais « zadosyćuczyńmyż »).
