Description:

Autograph of the author on the title page. Edition 1 Compiled by Monika Zaśko-Zielińska, Tomasz Piekot.

This is not a traditional correctness dictionary. Professor Jan Miodek does not stop at showing the correct forms, but also supplements each entry with an extensive commentary, in which he explains the causes of errors, recalls the linguistic past of the forms discussed, and - equally important - justifies his normative recommendations.

The Dictionary of the Polish Language is an accessible book, the Reader will not be lost here in the maze of abbreviations and grammatical terms; it is a book in which there are no laconic answers, but abundant knowledge of the mechanisms and laws of language; it is a lexicon explaining the correctness doubts that plague Poles, most of the comments are answers to the letters of readers and viewers; it is a book that does not omit proper names, the Author discusses many names, surnames and geographical names; it is a style guide, which very clearly presents the rules of speaking and writing in official and unofficial, public and private situations; it is a comprehensive book - if a word causes trouble grammatically, etymologically, orthographically, stylistically, phraseologically, there is no need to reach for other studies - all the necessary information can be found in one entry.
