Les néologismes récents en -ing en polonais

Abstract

The objective of this article is to study words present in Polish, ending with the English suffix -ing. The set consists of data collected from the Sketch Engine database, which was then searched through google.pl search engine, in order to reaffirm or reject their distribution in the discourse. The verification and analysis of presence of these lexical units in the dictionaries enabled the assessment of their actual status in the Polish language; therefore, it can be concluded that the occurrences appearance of -ing words increases. These are mostly borrowings from English, nevertheless, a new tendency to create -ing terms in Polish (allogenisms and hybrids) is clearly visible. Some stylistic specificity of the latter case is to be emphasised. Moreover, words ending in -ing concern various lexical fields, among which the one concerning social behaviours appears to be the most abundant, or even particularly emblematic of the contemporary era.
