The purpose of the paper is to investigate the semantic and syntactic properties of two lexical items: 'najwyrazniej' and 'widac'. The former has been identified by lexicographers as the superlative form of the adverb 'wyraznie', the latter as a defective perception verb. A closer look at the daily press , however, seems to suggest that there might in fact exist in the language items synonymous with the analyzed two, but used as epistemic particles. It is the aim of this paper to verify this hypothesis.
