Summary/Abstract: The names of peoples, nations and tribes do not only have a reference function but also evoke stereotypic forms of consciousness and thus turn into carriers of various judgments. The author reconstructs the images of the Poles and Hungarians fixed in Polish and Hungarian proverbs, demonstrating how these peoples see themselves and each other.
