The Capacity of Using the Pronoun dla in Contemporary Polish

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present changes in the capacity of using the pronoun dla in contemporary Polish. According to dictionary descriptions and normative recommendations, the pronoun under discussion should be applied in sentences with a commodal meaning, i.e. associated with gaining advantage. However, currently, particularly in press texts and in discussions on the Internet, there is a tendency to spread the use of the above mentioned pronoun on sentences informing about a loss as well. The article includes a critical analysis of such sentences.
