Comparison of Dutch loanwords in Polish and Czech
Original language description
It is well known that Dutch loanwords can be found in various languages. The aim of this chapter is to give a brief characterization of Dutch loanwords in Polish and Czech and to compare their usage in these two West Slavic languages. According to the Dutch database Uitleenwoordenbank (Van der Sijs 2015), there are more than 380 Dutch loanwords in Polish and more than one hundred Dutch loanwords in Czech. Why do we find more of these words in Polish than in Czech? How did these words get from Dutch into these two languages? What sort of words are these actually and how have they been adapted? What role does language contact play here? It has been noted that the majority of Dutch loanwords in both Polish and Czech were borrowed through other languages. The Polish language, however, contains many more words related to shipbuilding and seafaring.
