pokazujac

Pokazujac, written with ASCII characters as pokazując or pokazujac in non-diacritic texts, is the present active adverbial participle of the Polish verb pokazować (to show) or its variant pokazywać. It denotes an action that accompanies or accompanies the action of the main verb, and it can also describe the manner in which something is done. In standard Polish the preferred spelling is pokazując.

Morphology and use: It belongs to the imiesłów przysłówkowy czasu (present adverbial participle). It is formed from the verb stem with the suffix -ąc and typically does not have its own subject; instead it links to the main clause to indicate simultaneous action or a characteristic of the action described. When used adjectivally, related forms like pokazujący may agree with a noun, but the adverbial form pokazując usually serves clause-to-clause connections.

Grammar and punctuation: The participle clause introduced by pokazując is usually separated from the main clause by a comma. It answers questions related to time or manner, such as "co robiąc?" or "w jaki sposób?" For example: Pokazując wyniki badań, naukowiec podsumował wnioski. Pokazując slajdy, prelegent ilustrował dane. The construction emphasizes that the showing occurs in conjunction with the action of the main clause.

Notes: Pokazujac is not standard orthography; the diacritic-bearing form pokazując is the correct Polish spelling in contemporary texts. The noun form pokazywanie means “the act of showing.” The meaning and function of pokazując are closely tied to its role as a non-finite connector within sentences.
