Summary/Abstract: Comprehensive analysis of collected hybrid derivatives shows that globalization and Anglo-American “linguistic hegemony” have increased the production of English origin international morphemes (-инг / -ing, -гейт / -gate) and so-called “Euro-Latin” affixes (-завр / -zaur, -(о)номика / -(o)nomika), penetrating into the Russian and Polish word-formation systems through the mass media. In both languages the following processes are noticeable: 1) resemantization and activation of international affixes; 2) development of new hybrid derivative models; 3) creating with the help of morphemes abstracted from composites new formally and semantically condensed nouns, which allows us to notice an agglutination tendency.
