Summary/Abstract: My observations concern on linguistic fashion and the accompanying phenomenon, which is snobbery, in the context of changes within the lexical system of Slovak and Polish languages after 1989, when the socio-political break¬through and the fall of the communist dictatorship in former Czechoslovakia took place. Linguistic fashion, although ephemeral, caused significant shifts and changes in both the verbal and semantic structure of the language. Similar processes and tendencies characterized the language situation in Poland and Slovakia: the tendency to intellectualization and terminologisation, democratization and determinologisation, and above all the internationalization of the Slovak and Polish lexical system.
