Słownictwo XXI-wieczne w Wielkim słowniku języka polskiego PAN – zasób i charakterystyka ogólna
21st Century Vocabulary in the Great Dictionary of Polish by the PolishAcademy of Sciences – Resources and General Characteristics

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the Great Dictionary of Polish published by the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS) (Polish: Wielki słownik języka polskiego PAN) as a potential source for the research on the latest Polish lexis (i. e., lexis that has been documented in text and corpora sources since 2001). First, the author briefly discusses the principles and course of work on introducing chronological information into the dictionary; then the author shows how the user of the dictionary can, using the search tool according to the Chronologization field, independently access the necessary sets of entries with selected (not only 21st-century) dating characteristics. The main part of the text is the presentation of the general (primarily numerical) characteristics of 21st-century lexical material according to grammatical criteria (part of speech, word-formation structure), semantic (in relation to the thematic classification used in the dictionary), stylistic and etymological criteria (language of origin of borrowings).
