Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the morphological and semantic structure of Polish onomastic derivatives, which became both a medium of journalistic expression and a weapon used in political fight after the year 1989. It is argued that the majority of these eponyms are created by means of foreign affixes, which is seen as a sign of progressing internationalization of Slavic languages, increasingly relying on non-native affixes and derivational patterns. Moreover, the role of the pragmatic context in encoding and decoding these novel coinages is highlighted.
