Summary/Abstract: The article proves the existence of Polish poetic style as an individual variety of national language. This dissimilarity result from some morphological and syntactical features repeating through ages. This style is also characterised by peculiar treatment of grammatical categories related to general figurativeness of poetry texts. The influence of verse form on linguistic structure of described texts may also be observed. In the range of vocabulary the use of various categories of lexical detachment as neologisms, archaisms, and others reveals. The category of lexical poet isms and adequate statistical structure become characteristic feature of poetic style. Stylistic codes present in poetic style also show the developmental continuity of poetic style.
