{Swój} ma swoje tajemnice
The Pronoun {swój} Has Its Secrets

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with inflectional, syntactic and, above all, semantic properties of the Polish reflexive pronoun {swój}. The study presents a number of arguments against the free interchangeability of this word with possessive pronouns. Summing up her considerations, the author proposes a semantic representation in which the analysed meaning has been reduced to the conceptual structure of the pronoun {mój} ‘my’.
