Summary/Abstract: This paper is dedicated to an analysis of morphological exponents of intensification, the origin of which in Polish is associated with Czech influences, i.e. prefixes na- and prze-, from the viewpoint of the history of language. Each of the two parts of the study discusses researchers’ opinions about the genesis of the prefixes, indicates the oldest formations containing them, and points to the frequency of the selected forms in Old Polish and in the 16th c. The observation of the language material excerpted from the studies by e.g. K. Kleszczowa, M. Karpluk and S. Urbańczyk, and from lexicographic and corpus-based sources showed that the adjectival intensives with na- were restricted in Polish to rare accounts in Old Polish and in the 16th c. (nasilny (extremely strong)). The intensification prefix prze- has remained present in the contemporary language in examples such as przemiły (extremely nice), yet the scope of its usage has changed over the ages, since formations based on adjectives marked negatively (przezły (extremely bad)) have vanished.
