Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to demonstrate the usefulness of Erazm Rykaczewski’s Słownik języka polskiego for the research on the regional diversity of Polish. The comparisonof the register of 19th-century Modern Polish regionalisms, which I compiled, with theprovincialisms recorded in SR showed that, although the dictionary only included 176of the analysed units, it also collected 27 new units, not recorded at all or not classifiedas elements of regional Polish in any of the dictionary publications I analysed. Hence, the results prove that SR is an interesting material base for lexicological research on regional Polish.
