Keywords: the early and modern Polish language; phraseology; onomastics; choronym; Polish-Ukrainian linguistic contact
Summary/Abstract: The article discusses lexical combinations (phrasemes, proverbs) which contain a choronymic component associated with Ukraine, e.g.: niedaleka Ukraina, Na Ukrainie niejeden ginie, jak na Pobereżu, Na Podolu pszenica bez kąkolu. The purpose of the discussion is to present a survey of forgotten and current phraseological units which function in the modern Polish language and which carry information about long-standing Polish- Ukrainian linguistic contact. The material that is presented in the text constitutes evidence that onomastic phraseology is a valuable source of knowledge about the history and the culture of our people.
