The Institute of Polish Language of the Polish Academy of Sciences (established in 1973) conducts scientific research on Polish and general linguistics. The Institute’s researchers work in 9 Departments: of Polish Dialectology, of Etymology and Geolinguistics, of the History of the 17th and 18th Century Polish, of Old Polish, of Medieval Latin, of Methodology, of Onomastics, of Borderland Polish and of Great Dictionary of Polish. Recently the Institute has become increasingly involved in digital humanities, thanks to the use of quantitative linguistic methods, especially in stylometry and in corpus related projects.
The Institute is a member of the consortium of 9 institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences which created the interdisciplinary Anthropos Doctoral School (established in 2019). The consortium, apart from the Institute of Polish Language, includes the Institute of Archeology and Ethnology, the Institute of Literary Research, the Stanisław Leszczycki Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization, the Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History, the Ludwik and Aleksander Birkenmajer Institute of the History of Science, the Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures, the Institute of Slavic Studies and the Institute of Art.’
