Analiza porównawcza wybranych nazw gatunków alkoholu w języku polskim i serbskim
Comparative Analysis of Selected Terms Regarding Liquor in Polish and Serbian Language

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss linguistic and cultural similarities and differences regarding selected terms associated with alcohol in Polish and Serbian language. The sources from which the language material was gathered included monolingual dictionaries, supplemented by the vocabulary from a Polish-Serbian dictionary, and compared in terms of etymology, semantic and pragmatical aspects. The comparison of Polish and Serbian linguistic material showed symmetry or lack thereof, as well as how two very closely related Slavic nations perceive reality, which lead to showing what still connects Western and Southern Slavs as well as where the differences between them lie.
