Summary/Abstract: This paper offers a synthetic overview of the principal directions in syntactic research conducted in Poland between 2001 and 2025. The author observes a significant shift from traditional descriptions of sentence structure toward semantic-syntactic, pragmatic, and lexical-syntactic approaches. The first part of the article discusses key review and monographic studies that systematize the achievements of the past two decades. The subsequent section examines the impact of the digital turn on syntactic research, including the development of corpus-based, formal, and computational methods, which have reshaped both the definition and the scope of syntactic units. Subsequently, the discussion concentrates on selected areas of inquiry - namely, the syntax of phraseological units, macrosyntax, and co-occurrence syntax - demonstrating how these approaches collectively broaden the field of syntax toward semantic and communicative dimensions. The conclusion underscores that contemporary Polish syntax is undergoing a process of redefinition, evolving from a discipline focused on formal sentence relations into an interdisciplinary field concerned with meaning, structure, and communicative function in language.
