The article contains a description of the phrases ogłoszenie, obwieszczenie, zawiadomienie and komunikat. They function within a sentence either as gerunds naming the acts of speech, or as nouns referring to specific objects - texts. The author's aim is to find - based on syntactic analysis of the phrases being discussed here - an answer to the question, what conditions have to be met not to let the identification of two different issues, like a text and an act of speech happen, which similar-shaped phrases refer to. Any text whatsoever is an outcome of a certain linguistic action, or in other words an act of speech. But not every act of speech can be called a text.
