Summary/Abstract: The authoress analyses function words (conjunctions) occurring in the Polish language textbooks for middle schools, taking into account their stylistic mark. As the reference point for her analysis, she has chosen the classification of conjunctions according to the stylistic criteria created by Andrzej Markowski. The article examines examples of conjunctions that appear in the informative reading material and exercises included in the textbooks. It determines the occurrence frequency of neutral, literary, obsolete, colloquial, formal, solemn, and humorous conjunctions, as well as the contexts of use and types of exercises, in which the textbook authors place their connectives.
