Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt at drawing attention to the role played by remarkable authors of the interwar period in creating the national language. It discusses selected statements of artists such as J. Tuwim, T. Boy-Żeleński, J. Przyboś, S. Żeromski, B. Jasieński, J. Kurek, and T. Peiper, for whom language is not only a literary material but also an object of studies and reflection expressed directly, in separate quasi-linguistic texts. This served the purpose of exhibiting the methods of giving consideration to linguistic issues by non-linguists.
