Summary/Abstract: I have attempted to reconstruct the image of Germany perceived by Poles (heterostereotypes) and by Germans (autostereotypes). The point of departure for this analysis is a culturological perspective and its goal is to answer the question of how lexicography might contribute to strengthening ethnical stereotypes.
