MIEJSCA NIEDOOKREŚLONE W POLSKIEJ INTERPUNKCJI – WYBRANE ZAGADNIENIA
Indeterminate points in Polish punctuation – selected issues

Summary/Abstract: This paper is dedicated to indeterminate points in principles governing Polish punctuation. It indicates that new phenomena, which are not covered by the standard, have occurred in the Polish language. Moreover, it notices that the writing practice of educated language users is alarmingly often inconsistent, also where there should be none as the standard has been considered obvious with this respect to date. There are also issues that are described in principle in a prescriptive, yet too generalised, manner, which fails to allow for all questionable structures. The discussed problems are exemplified with authentic sentences containing controversial punctuation solutions accepted by language editors.
