Summary/Abstract: The article is an interpretation of Julian Tuwim’s poem titled Sunday Colloquium on the Street. The key to this interpretation is a reference to linguistic theory. The underlying thesis is that language in the work is approached from the perspective of its pragmatic implementation. This approach modifies the belief in the truthfulness of the stated theses. At the same time, the shift in motivation for using words is linked to the new political and social realities that are becoming commonplace in the wake of Poland’s regained independence and the establishment of a democratic system of government.
