Współczesne zainteresowania etymologiczne (na materiale Poradni Językowej PWN)
Contemporary Interest in Etymology (on the material of Poradnia Językowa PWN)

Summary/Abstract: Etymological interests are clearly visible in our contemporary society. They are revealed in radio and television broadcasts devoted to the language, in coursebooks (e.g. the explanations of foreign terms) and even in private conversations. They are also supported by the material of Poradnia Językowa PWN, from which originate a dozen or so questions with provided answers that are all mentioned in the article. The questions concern the origins of selected native and foreign words, neutral and marked stylistically, common words and proper names. The aim of the article is to signal the need for dissemination of etymological knowledge.
