Odmiany polszczyzny w świetle źródeł leksykograficznych

Abstract

The article presents the picture of stylistic variants of Polish emerging from modern standard dictionaries. Uniwersalny słownik jezyka polskiego, edited by Stanisław Dubisz, is the basic source of the material, or lexical units (entries or meanings) marked by stylistic labels. The following markers were taken into account: formal, bookish, publishers’, lofty, poetic, scientific, professional, official, colloquial, regional and environmental ones. On the basis of an analysis of 3530 excerpted entries, as compared with their description in other lexicographic sources (Słownik wspólczesnego języka polskiego, edited by Bogusław Dunaj and Praktyczny słownik współczesnej polszczyzny, edited by Halina Zgółkowa), one can conclude that modern dictionaries show a different picture of diversity of Polish in stylistic variants, using numerous stylistic markers. It appears that the same lexis is differently, often disparately, perceived and classified by different lexicographers.
