Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the method of formation, meanings, stylistic features and textual extension of quasi-passive participles – formed from all verbs (including intransitive ones, contrary to the norm) – which, however, have an active meaning resulting from the context. The author presents the functioning of these forms in the recent Polish language based on data from social media (including hashtag analysis) and other texts indicated by the MoncoPL corpus search engine and the Google Internet search engine. She demonstrates their expansion on social media and their gradual penetration into other texts.
