Polish Scientific Publishers PWN/ Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN S.A. are the major and most renowned Central European publisher of scientific, educational and professional titles, such as dictionaries, encyclopaedias, textbooks and publications in science and the humanities. Based in Warsaw and founded in 1951, PWN has maintained its intense presence in the non-fiction market and for over half a century retained the status of a major scientific publishing house, comparable to Oxford, Cambridge or John Wiley & Sons, with whom PWN cooperates on a daily basis. Once a company owned by the state, PWN underwent privatization in 1992 and became a joint-stock company in 1997. Today, PWN continues to grow and it now includes such subsidiaries as for instance: PWN.PL, who specializes in publishing multimedia and on-line resources such as translatorical software, PZWL- a medical pub lishing house or School Publishers PWN, who specialize in publishing textbooks, including those for teaching foreign languages to all age-groups.
Offering a wide range of publications by the creme de la creme of international experts, Polish Scientific Publishers' rights list contains over 1700 titles covering the following subject areas: sociology, psychology, philosophy, pedagogy, political science, theology, arts and history, linguistics, foreign language teaching, computing and technology, physics, mathematics, biology, chemistry, geography and engineering. Selling foreign rights for over three decades now, PWN has succeeded in publishing over 900 titles abroad.
All PWN dictionaries are based on the PWN Corpus of the Polish Language - an outstanding database containing over 100 million quotations from various spoken and written sources: everyday conversations, song lyrics, film dialogues, Internet sites, advertisements, diaries, newspapers, magazines and books. PWN also makes constant use of the so-called "frequency lists" for a particular word. By analyzing the frequency of usage, PWN dictionary teams are capable of discerning outdated vocabulary from the most up-to-date words.
Proficient in publishing, PWN's subsidiary PWN.PL offers the readers access to a wide range of multimedia and on-line resources such as translators and on-line dictionaries. Yet another subsidiary, School Publishers PWN, whose list is also represented by the Foreign Rights Department of Polish Scientific Publishers, specializes in publishing textbooks for foreign language teaching for all age-groups and levels. Frequently updated and revised, the works published by the members of the PWN Group present top quality materials for students, lecturers and intellectuals.
