Summary/Abstract: „Poradnik Językowy” (“The Linguistic Guide”) was initiated in Kraków in 1901 as a periodical dedicated to proper language use and linguistic guidance. After it was moved to Warsaw in 1932, its profile changed into a scientific journal, yet its role as a Polish nationwide periodical discussing issues related to language culture was preserved. Since 1971, „Poradnik Językowy” has been a body of Towarzystwo Kultury Języka (Society for Language Culture). Its two major roles, which have evolved as a result of more than a hundred years of the journal’s development, are: 1) forming a linguistic standard of Polish and good – compliant with language culture and ethics of the word – practices of social communication; 2) forming the knowledge of the Polish language, without which language culture is impossible.
