Abstract
The object of research is the qualifier ‘colloquial’ (potoczne) in Polish lexicographic practice. The aim is to outline the practice of its use in Poland and to compare it with the practice in Bulgaria. Since different notions regarding the concept of colloquialism exist in Poland, the aim is also to examine which of them is decisive when using the qualifier. The analysis was conducted on the basis of the information about the qualifier ‘colloquially’ in several Polish dictionaries. The analysis shows that, as in Bulgaria, this qualifier is considered to be stylistically-pragmatic, therefore the stylistic concept of colloquialism dominates in the Polish lexicographic practice. There are also some cases of inconsistencies or discrepancies in the use of the qualifier ‘colloquial’, which supports the complexity of the problem of colloquial vocabulary.
