Summary/Abstract: Genre and style division of Polonisms in the pre-literary period of the Slovak language confirms our view that in the pre-literary period Polish was mainly the language of written communication in our territory. We consider Polonisms as lexical means included in texts written by Polish and Slovak authors during the period of economical and sociocultural relationships between the Slovaks and the Poles mainly since the 16th century. However, these lexical borrowings did not represent a vital part of the Slovak vocabulary in the pre-literary period and also do not represent this part of the Slovak vocabulary in the literary period of the Slovak language.
