Аннотация

The aim of this article is to present Jędrzej Śniadecki`s journalistic writings as texts representative of the satirical undercurrent of Lithuanian literary works at the turn of XVIIIth and XIXth centuries. The writing activity of Śniadecki was closely connected with the functioning of Towarzystwo Szubrawców – the group of intelligentsia and landlords representatives. These intellectuals from 1816 to 1822 published sociocultural articles in their press organ “Wiadomosci Brukowe”. The didactic strategy of the publicist under discussion manifests itself in various realizations. Its holistic dimension is shaped by three grounds in which Śniadecki reveals himself as a publicist – satirist, publicist – rebuker and publicist – moralist. Śniadecki ridicules, sometimes he is emotional, but also doesn`t restrain himself from indirect didactism indicating appropriate demeanors and proposing concrete solutions to social, economical and conventional problems. In the aim of criticizing and remedying surrounding reality Śniadecki employs various stylistic variants of the Polish language – from colloquial dialogues to sophisticated rhetorical constructions. From a linguistic perspective, his satirical craftsmanship is exactly a skillful combination of the two styles.
