Wykładniki „paktu faktograficznego” w strukturze osiemnastowiecznych gazet rękopiśmiennych Teodora Ostrowskiego: incipity źródłowe

Exponents of the “pact of fact” in the structure of the 18th century hand-written newspapers by Teodor Ostrowski: source incipits Summary In the second half of the 18th century, hand-written newspapers created an unofficial (alternative to printed newspapers) circulation of information. The article analyzes a collection of hand-written newspapers by Teodor Ostrowski from 1782, which were representative of the 18th century unofficial press discourse. The concept of the “pact of fact” was referred to and it was assumed that it was a conceptual framework in media-linguistic studies of texts whose press status must be determined and assessed. Measures were described which in Ostrowski’s hand-written newspapers fulfilled the terms of the pact of fact and indicated sources of information. Repeated lexemes and collocations were presented, the function of which was to refer to direct (spoken) sources from the country, from abroad and, to a lesser extent, to printed newspapers.
