The concept of Słownik języka i kultury Wielkopolski (Dictionary of Greater Poland’s language and culture) and the series Wielkopolskie Słowniki Regionalne (Greater Polish Regional Dictionaries)

Abstract

The Greater Polish dialect is one of the least developed ones in Poland in terms of lexicography. There are amateur dictionaries available and thematic dictionaries on individual parts of the dialect have been published, but there is no lexicographic study covering the entire Greater Poland proper. A publication of this type will therefore fi ll this gap. Moreover, the existence of dictionaries (or works on them) from other regions will enable comparative and general dialectal studies. This text is a conceptual rather than a material, analytical, or synthetic study. Its objective is to present the idea of a dictionary covering the whole Greater Poland.
