Summary/Abstract: The text includes an analysis of the communication functions of the particle “w istocie” – as a content hierarchy operator and a persuasive metaoperator. This action results from the semantics of the particle in which there is a polemic with other opinions. The judgement given with the particle represents the truth-essence (the truth from the deeper level of reality) as opposed to the truth-appearance (the phenomenon perceived sensually).
