About the word jedyny (‘only’) and its negated form

Summary/Abstract: The article centres on the word "jedyny" (‘only’) and its negated form, i.e. an expression "nie jedyny" or "niejedyny" (‘not the only one’). Orthographical dictionaries published by PWN explicitly determine the issue of their spelling as late as in the 2003 editions. According to the latest recommendations, spelling the negated form as one word is correct. Since the discussed matter goes beyond mere correctness, the functional as well as grammatical status of the word was analysed, together with its selectional restrictions, which are always related to the semantic level of a given linguistic unit.
