Od bicza do pejcza – o kontaktach językowych słowiańsko-niemieckich
On Slavic-German linguistic contacts

Summary/Abstract: Slavic influences on the German language are normally unknown to the Polish society. Yet the relevant literature is relatively rich and the influences are significant in quantitative terms. Although not many Slavic borrowings have been acquired by general German, there are quite a lot of ones which have a broad regional reach and the highest number of such words are recorder in individual German dialects in areas adjacent to Slavic languages. Apart from the selected general German borrowings and ones with a broad regional reach, I point here mainly to Polish borrowings occurring in old German dialects in former East Prussia.
