Winged words in textbooks for teaching Polish as a foreign language

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to describe the phenomenon of the so-called „winged words” as they are presented in textbooks used for teaching Polish as a foreign language. In the text we have analyzed 13 textbooks. The purpose of the research was to answer two main questions. Firstly, what functions do the winged words perform in a given resource and what position do they occupy? Secondly, does the reception of an exercise by a student require understanding of a winged word used in the exercise? The winged words used by the textbooks’ authors fall into a few categories. They appear in the books’ titles, chapters’ titles and authentic texts, as well as in exercises: lexical, phraseological and grammatical ones (where they can be used based on their semantics or without focusing on it). Another classification includes cases where the proper understanding of an exercise depends on the prior knowledge of a winged word and those where it is not obligatory.
