Abstract
The article attempts to characterize a semantic field of expressions denoting a fool. On the basis of dictionary material excerpted from Nowy słownik gwary uczniowskiej (New Dictionary of School Pupils Jargon) edited by H. Zgolkowa, the most frequently occurring mechanisms have been presented such as appelativization, animization or reification (fallacy) as well as transfer of names from other categories, e.g. animals, plants or doers of an action. What is more, the most frequent dictionary explications of the discussed appellative names and their syntactic schemes have been presented.
