Dutch Loanwords in Contemporary Polish

The monograph “Dutch Loanwords in Contemporary Polish” is devoted to words and phrases of Dutch origin, found in Polish lexical sources from the end of the 20th century. However, dictionaries often lack information about the Dutch roots of a given word. Therefore, the author verifies their origin, thereby contributing to the discussion of the lexicographic presentation of etymological data. The author traces the paths by which these borrowings reached the Polish language, discusses whether they have retained their meaning and presents how their form of spelling or pronunciation has changed in relation to the original Dutch forms.
