Abstract

The author pays attention to a significant contribution of dialectal words to the Poznań’s lexical localisms. She reminds her conception – presented in the book The Types of the Lexical Localisms (Typy regionalizmów leksykalnych), ed. Adam Mickiewicz University Press 1991) – of distinction criteria which afford systematized description of these localisms. She analyses four types of localisms connected with dialectal words. The lexical material (303 words) is taken from Dictionary of Poznań’s Urban Jargon (Słownik gwary miejskiej Poznania) by M. Gruchmanowa i B. Walczak, ed. PWN 1999.
