Summary/Abstract: Some phrases {mój mistrz}, {mój uczeń}) and syntactic features suggest a kind of convertive relation. Both of the lexemes are - for example – a three-actant: {ktoś}, {czyjś}, {w jakiejś dziedzinie wiedzy}} {sztuki}) (someone, someone's, in a field of science (/art). This feature is not sufficient to make a convertive relation. In Polish Language the {mistrz-uczeń} relation is a unilateral one. The relation depends on the apprentice who selects} a master. The master confirms this only if {uczeń} (apprentice) is taught by the master and if the master is regarded by the apprentice as a skilled, knowledgeable person.
