Summary/Abstract: Tomasz Olbratowski uses a variety of lexical phenomena: polysemy, homonymy, sociolects, archaisms, neologisms, acronyms. He uses linguistic humor not only to entertain the listeners, but also as a means of evaluation. The use of linguistic humor is one of the typical features of radio segments. The interpretation of a radio segment requires well developed communicative competence of the listener, but at the same time, reading these texts can improve the communicative competence in both native speakers and language learners.
