Owiadczeniem

Owiadczeniem is a neologism in Polish meant to denote a formal act of informing or notifying others. It is not a standard term in Polish dictionaries and is not widely attested in official usage. In contemporary practice, it appears only in limited linguistic discussions or in drafts where authors seek an explicit label for the act of conveying information.

Etymology and relation to related terms

The proposed word is formed in a manner reminiscent of Polish nominalizations, combining a root related to informing with a suffix that marks an action or process. It is sometimes contrasted with powiadomienie (notification, the act of informing) and oświadczenie (declaration or statement). While powiadomienie emphasizes the informational content conveyed to recipients, ow iadczeniem is intended to foreground the procedural act of informing itself. Oświadczenie, by contrast, denotes a formal statement issued by an entity. Owiadczeniem, if used, would function as a label for the process rather than the content or the author of a message.

Usage and cautions

Because ow iadczeniem is not established in standard Polish, its use should be clearly defined within any text to avoid ambiguity. It may appear in niche contracts, policy documents, or linguistic discussions as a way to discuss the formal procedure of informing. In most contexts, more widely understood terms such as powiadomienie or informacja are preferable, unless a specific authorial or institutional definition is provided.
