Summary/Abstract: The paper is a linguistic analysis of essays by children of Polish descent (from mixed Polish-English marriages) attending a Saturday school in London. On the basis of the written material the author analyses phonetically certain vocalic features (production of nasals in various positions, confusion of i and у as well as e both in internal and ultimate positions) and certain consonantal features ( assimilation with regard to palatalization and sonority, preservation of alternate hard and palatal, voiced and voiceless consonants, assimilation with regard to the place of articulation and the degree of openness, articulatory simplifications, assimilations, reductions).
