Usage and context can distinguish between everyday or technical language and literary language. In linguistic, literary, and philological discussions, literackim helps specify that a style, register, or vocabulary is characteristic of literature rather than colloquial speech or specialized jargon. It frequently appears in criticism, analysis of texts, and discussions of language style.

Related terms include literatur a (literature), język literacki (literary language), styl literacki (literary style), and styl potoczny (colloquial style).
