This paper presents a derivative-semantic analysis of prefixial verb formations using the prefix prze- that occur in the dialect of Lubola village near Sieradz. Verbs with the u- prefix in the Lubola dialect create categories that denote the following: 1) ‘covering a distance in space, moving something from one place to another’ (e.g. przeciągnąć), or 2) ‘covering a distance in time while performing an action’ (e.g. przebajdurzyć), 3) ‘examining an object in detail’ (e.g. przebadać), 4) ‘performing an action with less-than-necessary intensity or thoroughness’ (e.g. przemyć), 5) ‘transforming, moving from one into another, constant change’ (e.g. przefarbować), 6) ‘crossing a border or permeating into something’ (e.g. przecedzić), 7) ‘performing an action in reference to future’ (e.g. przepowiedzieć), 8) ‘going too far in doing something’ (e.g. przepaskudzić), 9) ‘superseding someone or something in doing something’ (np. przerosnąć), 10) ‘ceasing, interrupting’ (np. przeszkodzić). A portion of the words has been subjected to lexicalization (e.g. przegapić). Among the collected examples there are also some characteristic of the dialect: some formative suffixes in the dialect replace standard Polish formative suffixes za-, e.g. przepaskudzić ‘zapaskudzić’; s-, e.g. przetracić ‘starcić’; wy-, e.g. przemłócić ‘wymłócić’; u-, e.g. przeszyć ‘uszyć’. The recorded verbs also include roots other than those included in standars Polish, such as przeburszować.
