This sketch is dedicated to the confrontation of the vocabulary used spontaneously by pre-school children with the lexis used by authors of contemporary theatrical plays addressed to the “young viewer”. Spontaneous vocabulary is contained in frequency dictionaries. The conclusions of the comparisons are addressed to authors of children’s literature, teachers and psychologists (psycholinguists). The main question asked at the end of the sketch is whether words used in literature are understandable to children.

The main subject area of this study is intergenerational confrontation of the lexical resource of pre-school children. The two generations in question are “parents”, that is people who were children in the period 1980–1983, and “children”, which is the generation of pre-schoolers in the period 2010–2015. Frequency dictionaries were developed for both generations on the basis of corpora of spontaneous utterances of children. A comparative overview of both lists permits identification of strictly quantitative changes (the dictionary of 2015 contains ca. 1,000 entries more than the previous one) as well as ones related to social conventions and development of civilisation, which are useful in thorough linguistic and psycholinguistic research. This is the basis for indication of two children’s worlds separated from each other with a thirty years’ generational caesura, detection of (lexical and grammatical) linguistic creation areas. What is common for both frequency lists is the regularity consisting in the fact that the list of ten most frequent entries (usually synsemantic words) constitutes ca. 25% of all that were used in samples of 100 thousand, which is the so-called text coverage percentage.

The main aim of this paper is to show how two immediately successive generations of pre-school children own — thanks to language — the rules of participation in social life and knowledge of the surrounding world. These two generations were the ones, who in the years 1980–83 were at a pre-school age and are now parents of children of the same age in 2010–2013. The analysis of the lexical score and language consciousness conducted from a thirty years’ perspective gave unexpected results which suggest the need to revise Baudouin de Courtenay’s thesis, according to which children’s language is a kind of projection of adult users language representing the next generation. Made confrontations done show how many new words (which were not used by the previous generation, i.e. parents) appear in the lexical score and in consciousness of today pre-schools.

The primary aim of this sketch is to present the changes which have occurred in the dictionaries of Polish compiled and published over the past century, since Poland regained independence. The changes concern the repertoire of the qualifi ers used in the dictionaries. The major hypothesis adopted by the authors is related to the manner of categorising the reality by semantic fi elds determined by qualifi ers.
