KATARZYNA BAZARNIK is a lecturer at the Department of English at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. She wrote her MA on Polish elements in Finnegans Wake. Her PhD dissertation on spatiality of the literary work was rooted in investigating iconic spaces of Joyce's works and introduced a concept of "liberature," i.e., a literary genre in which the material shape of the book and its linguistic content form an organic whole. She has edited Wokol Jamesa Joyce'a ("Around James Joyce"; Universitas,1998, together with Finn Fordham), including Finnegans Make (a theatrical adaptation of Joyce's prose works by Zenkasi Theatre), and Od Joycea do liberatury ("From Joyce to Liberature"; Universitas, 2002), published Liberature (Artpartner, 2005, with Zenon Fajfer) as well as organised five Bloomsday conferences in Krakow.

A recent interest in Shelta, the language of the Irish travelers, and Caló, the para-Romani language of the Spanish gypsies, has led to etymological notes on flamenco and gringo, and the present brief article on reference in FW to tinkers and their language.
