    Casus septimus, ultimus, localis, positivus – definitions of the locative in Latin grammars of the Polish language

    Magdalena Zawadzka

    Abstract

    Traditional Latin grammatical terminology, due to the great similarity and close links between Latin and Polish, was well suited to describe Polish. This is evidenced by the fact that Latin-language grammars and Polish language textbooks rarely needed to use terms different from those used to describe Latin. This happened when Polish was significantly different from Latin. One such situation is the partial discrepancy in the case system of the languages in question (Latin has 6 of them, Polish has 7). This difference gave rise to the need to find a name for the 'extra' Polish case. This article presents definitions of the locative taken from the textbooks of Statorius-Stojeński, Volckmar, Meniński, Woyna and Malicki, attempts to find an adequate Latin term for it, and indicates the sources of the terms used by the authors mentioned.
