(in Polish) Warsztaty polszczyzny użytkowej 3700-AL-WPOLU-OG

The basic rule of the workshop is a functional approach to language as a tool for ongoing communication with others. We will examine the diversity of Polish and consider the actual need for standardization. Therefore, a crucial element of the course will be familiarization with basic issues of language culture. Together, we will reflect on the state of contemporary Polish, with particular emphasis on development trends.
However, the most important element will be practical exercises in standard (normative) Polish, used in official communication. The more refined the language is, the better we can use it, the easier it will be to achieve the intended communicative goal. Therefore, it is important to understand the capabilities and limitations of this tool in order to eliminate errors and master the skill of constructing coherent statements and texts. Practical sessions will focus on mastering the skills of using appropriate normative sources when working with texts. These skills will be used in editing and proofreading texts.
The scope and level of exercises related to spelling, punctuation, inflection, syntax, lexical, syntagmatic, phraseological, and stylistic accuracy will depend on the needs of the workshop participants.
