Polish dictionaries in Internet

Grzegorz Dąbkowski

On the Internet network - on big portals, pages of various institutions, organizations or private persons - one can find a vast number of various Polish dictionaries. For the needs of the present article 500 of such dictionaries have been analyzed. These are, first of all, amateur special purpose dictiona-ries/glossaries (terminological, regional, environmental, normative). A big number of dictionaries - often compiled with mistakes and rather unskillfully - proves the fact that their authors, making use of the opportunities offered by Internet, willingly realize the need of explaining and sorting out the vocabulary related to various spheres of life.
