Abstract

The article presents an outline of contemporary Polish word-formation. Affixal derivation and conversion are identified as the most productive Polish word-formation processes. During the last decades, there has also been an increase in compounding. The different word-formation processes are analysed from a formal grammatical as well as from a semantic and pragmatic point of view.
