This study shows the perception of speech varieties in Poland and was based on quantitative research conducted in Poznań. The tool used to study perceptions of speech varieties in Poland was based on Dennis Preston's "Draw-a-map" methodology. The results were analyzed and presented as a graphical representation of maps displaying various levels of agreements of the speakers' perceptions. The maps displayed the results in three alternative forms: spreadsheet view, 2D view, and 3D view. The four main epicenters of the greatest agreement appeared in the South, West, North, and East, but they were not equal in size and level. There were only two cities from the original map, Katowice and Poznań, which received scores higher than 50% agreement. The results maps suggest that the participants have created Schemas of Polish speech varieties based on limited information and practice with speech.
