The Problems of Morphological Adaptation of English Names in Genitive

Summary/Abstract: The article raises the question of Polish declination of English names including inflectional manifestation of the so-called Saxon Genitive. Normative solutions in this issue, as presented in different reference sources, are not homogeneous. According to some standpoints, defining the inflectional subject in Polish, this manifestation has to be excluded, while according to other ones, it must be included. The inflectional situation under discussion is analyzed in morphological, syntactic, phonetic, graphic and cultural aspects. The theses are proved by linguistic material gathered in surveys. Most arguments show no necessity to omit the 's particle in the inflectional subject of the names in Polish. Suggestions in the conclusion postulate making a definite normative statement, after a complex analysis, which is expected by users of Polish.
