Summary/Abstract: The article is a voice in the polemics of linguists that have been going on for years,concerning the lack of clarity of boundaries between word-formation categories and therelated deficit of consequences in the form of overlapping ranges of meaning of semanticgroups. An example of such semantic lability is the creative verbal category, which incomparison with the aspectual function and with reference to the class of resultativeverbs, seems to be an unnecessary repetition. The question about the meaning of creatinga creative category will be considered based on contemporary general Polish, as well asin reference to examples from historical Polish and from dialects.
