Z HISTORII POLSKO-TURECKICH KONTAKTÓW JĘZYKOWO-KULTUROWYCH W XVI W. – OD SANDŻAKA DO SĘDZIAKA
ON THE HISTORY OF POLISH-TURKISH LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL CONTACTS IN THE 16TH C. – FROM SANDŻAK TO SĘDZIAK

Summary/Abstract: It is assumed in the history of language that the main phase of infl uences of the Turkish-Tatar languages is the 16th and 17th centuries. They were caused by linguistic and cultural contacts the background of which was largely political and military. The infl uences are indirect borrowings (through the medium of the Ruthenian languages, the Hungarian language, and the German language) or direct ones. An example of the latter is the Turkicism sandżak ‘an administrator of a district in the Ottoman Empire, a military commander’, which – as a result of adaptation processes – was equated with the original Polish form sędziak, constituting an interesting example of lexical heterogenic homonymy.
