Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the efforts intended to develop the Polish Sign Language sentence reproduction test (PJM-SRT). There are no standardised PJM proficiency tests available yet, which makes it difficult to evaluate language skills of learners of this language. The analysis presented in this paper covers the data obtained from 5 hearing persons who learnt to sign for 2–5 years reaching at least the B2 level. 10 example sentences from PJM-SRT were discussed and a qualitative analysis of their reproduction was performed. What follows from this review is that the sentences included in the test fulfill their role well: they show which elements of the lexical and grammatical system of the PJM are the most challenging for the tested persons.
