Streszczenie:
The article looks at grammar in the construction of linguistic worldview (LWV): the
problem is important inasmuch as most researchers tend to only focus on lexical issues.
By adopting a broad understanding of grammar as a body of mechanisms that make
language possible, the author claims that the Polish linguistic worldview draws from the
world-formational system (it allows for the emergence of new words and organizes the
lexicon by arranging it into conceptual categories with formal linguistic exponents). The
inflectional and syntactic systems, in turn, contribute to the LWV much less: the only
grammatical categories with a semantic function relevant in this respect are number,
gender, tense, modality and conjunctions, which code relationships between entities and
phenomena.
