Summary/Abstract: The subject matter of the article is the comparison of the phrases {cały czas} and {przez cały czas}. The examination of the type of information they convey along with their juxtaposition enables to distinguish a number of semantic modifications.

The most important and basic difference between the phrases is that the construction {przez cały czas} refers to a particular period of time (from t1 to t2) which is filled with a certain action or state, while the phrase {cały czas} puts more stress on the duration of the activity.
