Summary/Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of 113 German nominal compounds defining attributes of people and Polish counterparts of these compound nouns. The research is based on a lexicographical material excerpt from mono- and bilingual dictionaries as well as internet sources. The text aims to present a typology of monolexical units. Two key issues are subject to contrastive analysis: which semantic fields do selected German com pound words represent and how are these nominal compounds translated into Polish? The discussion which consists of a theoretical and empirical part ends with conclusions dealing primarily with a source of motivation of composites’ formation.
