On the difficulties in analysing semantic borrowings and calques

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to describe the problems connected with the analysis of English semantic borrowings and calques functioning in Polish. Among others, the problems connected with distinguishing between (1) semantic borrowings and native semantic innovations, (2) calques and native phraseological innovations and (3) English semantic borrowings and English calques are discussed. Certain criteria, which might be useful in such differentiation, are also presented: they include the lexicographical criterion, corpus analysis, semantic criterion, the criterion of analogy, the criterion connected with cultural issues and the criterion of the text source.
