Abstract
The beginnings of the Polish geographical terminology are associated with the birth of modern science. Its further development is a response to the increasing communication needs in the fi eld of geography. In the initial phase, the fundamental base of geographical vocabulary is resources of the general language. The progressing specialisation of scientifi c research requires the application of an increasing number of precise terms. Geographical terms have been coined in accordance with the general rules characteristic of special lexis. The resource includes: foreign quotations, borrowings with various degrees of assimilation, new Polish words and multi-word units coined with the use of common nomination mechanisms. Geography is a fi eld that is closely related to other sciences, and hence it is characterised by a large number of terms that are common to fi elds such as astronomy and geology.
