Abstract

The subject of this article is the linguistic level of contemporary Polish reportage books, the framework of which is determined by time constraints (modern, 21st century), linguistics (Polish) and form (book). The main goal of this article is to present the methodology of research on syntactic minority along with the exemplification of syntactic structures, the frequency of which is below 10%, based on statements from the corpus of texts belonging to the genre of contemporary Polish book reportage. The methodology used in research on syntactic minority includes two basic methods: (1) syntax analysis and (2) quantitative analysis. The first of these is related to the selection of an appropriate syntactic model and syntactic analysis of statements from specific texts. The second of these is connected with quantitative analysis. As a result, in this article 200 statements from each reportage were analyzed, thus obtaining a total number of 2,000 analyzed syntactic structures. Following an in-depth analysis, attention was drawn to those syntactic elements characteristic of the style of the book reportage genre, which cover less than 10% of all syntactic structures.
