Summary/Abstract: Different methodological approaches to word formation and the need for a synthetic and generalized approach to dialect study, especially with reference to regional varieties of Polish, impose on the researchers the necessity to formulate a comprehensive approach to studying dialectal word formation. This paper provides a methodological proposal concerned with paradigmatic word formation. Paradigmatic word formation is understood here as a specific pattern involving interpretation and classification, also cartographical, geared at extracting dialect features and, which is especially important, derivative mechanisms of considerable regularity. Such mechanisms should be related to etymological word formation, in order to show the appropriate basic form from which the studied word derived and achieved its categorical meaning.
