Specjalność i specjalizacja w szkolnictwie wyższym – prawodawstwo a uzus
Specjalność [speciality] and specjalizacja [specialisation] in higher education – legislation versus usage

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to discuss how the terms specjalność [speciality] and specjalizacja [specialisation] function in the applicable legislation related to higher education and in the academic usage. The described terms, although not defined in legislation, are used by the legislator in a relatively uniform manner. In the academic circles, in turn, the terms specjalność and specjalizacja are employed in a customary, vague and locally diverse way, which is proved above all by the teaching offer on websites of the Polish universities’ units offering the major in Polish philology. The article provides suggestions of clarifying this undoubtedly complex issue.
