    Abstract

    The aim of this article is to analyse the faunistic vocabulary from the poetic novel Jan Bielecki by Juliusz Słowacki. In the considerations undertaken, an attempt was made to determine whether the poet used word connections fixed in the minds of language users, or whether he was going beyond the use of faunistic vocabulary in the canon of the literary and cultural code of the Romantic period. The outline highlights the connectivity of faunistic lexemes with other words, their contextual entanglements and symbolism. The analysis applies the theory of semantic fields and uses the assumptions of the open definition. The analytical material is discussed in three semantic circles: bird animals, mammal animals, other animals. The analyses conducted allowed the distinguishing of four ways in which the world of fauna is created in Słowacki’s work. Although the lexis used, for the most part, fits the familiar and native repertoire of animal names, the linguistic connections used mean it can be read in a completely new light.
