"UWAGA! SCHODY!", CZYLI O SKŁADNIOWEJ FUNKCJI MYŚLNIKA
"Peek before you leap!" or the Syntactic Function of the Dash

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the syntactic function of the dash in a written text, similar to that of a comma postulated by Marek Świdziński in his work on Polish syntax. The syntactic role is postulated only for such dashes for which no substitution is possible. Such dashes overtly mark the boundary between phrases that are not immediate constituents and stop further parsing that would end in a crash.
