Kreacja mowy potocznej w podręczniku do nauki języka polskiego jako obcego Polski, krok po kroku (poziom A1)

This article presents different ways of creating colloquial speech in textbooks for teaching Polish as a foreign language Polski, krok po kroku (A1 level). It seems that spoken colloquial Polish has not been used in any textbook for teaching Polish to such an extent as in the presented series. In this handbook the authors used syntax, vocabulary, graphics and punctuation in the broadest scope, while inflection, word formation and phraseology in a narrower extent. The difficulty, but at the same time the attractiveness of the said textbook series, appears to be the consequence of introducing the element of spoken language in the unofficial variety. Additionally, it should be remembered, that in fact the series deals with a written language, i.e. creation of utterances by means available in the written variety, which creates an impression of a spoken variety of the language. Such creation exists in the written form, but may not be recognized without the spoken “base”.
