Style współczesnego reportażu wojennego: Wojciech Tochman i Wojciech Jagielski

The article formulates a thesis that two eminent Polish writers covering war situations represent different literary styles (idiostyles): Tochman's can be subsumed under the term „minimalist-rhetorical", whereas Jagielski's could described as „metaphorical". To prove this thesis, makes use of linguistic analytical tools to interpret such works „Like eating stone. Surviving Past in Bosnia", „The Crowing Cocks and Weeping Dogs" „Praying for Rain", „Towers Stone. Battle Wills Chechnya". minimalism results from creative treatment syntax, most basic syntactic constructions verbless sentences well straight-forward announcement facts. On other hand, effort focuses on semantics, hence abundance metaphors, comparisons, epithets.
