Summary/Abstract: The present article deals with inter-Slavonic language contacts, in particular, language contacts between the East Slavic and West Slavic languages on the lexical level on the material of diplomatic correspondence of Muscovy. The publication examines anew exposed lexical (vyobraziti ‘list, adduce; mention, refer(to); describe’, zapomogati ‘support’, nedoroslyj ‘very young; under age, juvenile, minor’) and semantic (uznati ‘admit; agree, concede’) inter-Slavonic borrowings. Moreover, the article deals with the role of the written language of the Great Duchy of Lithuania in Polish-Russian language contacts.
