Summary/Abstract: The growing influence of the Czech language on the general Polish language used by the Polish minority may lead to assimilation of the Polish language used in Zaolzie to Polish dialects used by Polish emigrants in western countries. Interferences occurring on the grammatical platform are more difficult to eliminate than the lexical ones. The increasing number of Bohemisms may even reduce Zaolzie people’s capability to use Polish high and popular culture.
