O potrzebie szerszych badań nad współczesną śląszczyzną

Abstract

The author starts from showing the achievements of researchers in terms of collection, description and academic preparation of Silesian vocabulary. Next she moves on to present the most important gaps in this respect, emphasizing above all the necessity to examine the contemporary Silesian language, separation of the historical and contemporary material and the importance to examine the meaning and emotional as well as expressive value of words in different regions and age groups.
