zwikszonej

Zwikszonej is a nonstandard orthographic variant observed in Polish-language texts. It is typically treated as a misspelling or a diacritics-stripped version of the standard form weakerly expressed as “zwiększonej,” the genitive singular feminine form of the adjective meaning increased. The form often appears in informal writing, online communication, and digitized materials where diacritics are lost or altered.

Causes and context. The variant commonly arises from removing diacritical marks in keyboards that lack proper Polish support, from user errors in haste, or from optical character recognition OCR processes that fail to reproduce accented characters accurately. It may also appear in automated data sources where normalization steps are imperfect, leading to nonstandard spellings being retained in corpora or databases.

Linguistic and practical significance. As a nonstandard form, zwikszonej can complicate text processing, search indexing, and linguistic analysis if not normalized. Natural language processing tools for Polish often include diacritics restoration and orthographic normalization to map such variants to their standard counterparts. For human readers, recognizing zwikszonej as a misspelling helps maintain comprehension and avoids misinterpretation in contexts where precise grammatical agreement matters.
