Witold Gombrowicz’s novel Trans-Atlantyk, written in a style imitating the Sarmatian 17th century storytelling (gawęda), is widely accounted as one of the most demanding works to translate. The present paper aims at describing stylistic features at the level of syntax, which are present in Trans-Atlantyk’s Swedish translation done by Anders Bodegård and praised as an extraordinary piece of work. We focus solely on distinguishing different types of syntactic constructions used by the translator revealing his way of rendering the syntactic stylization of the unique source text. Additionally, the study has a didactic focus. It shows an enormous stylistic potential of the Swedish language captured in one text.

The aim of this article is to show how selected topics traditionally taught in academic courses on the history of the Swedish language can contribute to the development of the linguistic competence of adult learners of Swedish as a foreign language. The issues are discussed on the basis of Polish instructed teaching environments but they may also have some relevance in a broader perspective. The different competences addressed are: translating texts to/from Swedish, assessing such translations and evaluating the suitability of machine translations, as well as treating Swedish as a window to other Nordic languages. Language history is presented as an important part of foreign language learning and intercultural communication.
