The usage and meaning of mentioned ( wspomniany ) and described ( opisany ) metatext markers in Polish scientific texts Metatext markers (MMs) are defined as expressions used in a text to inform readers of its structure or relations between its elements (Fraser, 1999; Goldman & Rakestraw, 2000; Schiffrin, 1988). In this paper the usage of two MMs "mentioned" ("wspomniany") and "described" ("opisany") in scientific texts is described and the relation between their meaning and usage is analysed. In Study 1, the frequency, scope and direction of the MM is analysed in a corpus of peer-reviewed scientific texts in Polish. In Experiment 2, participants decided whether to use the aforementioned MMs to fill gaps in short scientific texts. The results of both experiments suggest that while the meaning of an MM may influence its usage, this relation may be affected by the size of the whole text. Uzycie i znaczenie operatorow metatekstowych wspomniany i opisany w tekstach naukowych po polsku Operatory metatekstowe (OM) to wyrazenia informujące czytelnika o strukturze tekstu, w ktorym zostaly umieszczone, oraz o relacjach pomiedzy jego elementami (Fraser, 1999; Goldman & Rakestraw, 2000; Schiffrin, 1988). W ponizszej pracy zostalo opisane uzycie dwoch OM wspomniany i opisany w tekstach naukowych, przeanalizowano takze relacje pomiedzy ich znaczeniem i uzywaniem. W badaniu 1 zostaly przeanalizowane czestośc uzycia, zakres i ukierunkowanie OM w tekstach naukowych pisanych po polsku. W badaniu 2 czytelnicy decydowali o tym, czy umieścic dodatkowy OM w krotkim tekście naukowym. Wyniku obydwu badan wskazują, ze znaczenie OM moze wplywac na sposob jego uzywania, ale wplyw ten zmienia sie wraz z wielkością tekstu.
