Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of the reception of the Ukrainian-Russian surzhyklanguage according to the opinions of mainly Polish students studying Ukrainian at the University ofWrocław. The methodology used in the research is based on the sociolinguistic analysis of a surveyconducted among selected respondents. The responses to the question on the reception of surzhykshowed quantitatively a greater percentage of negative perceptions of this phenomenon. This wasexplained by the lack of great hybridization in the spoken Polish language and the high status of thestate language in Polish society, among other factors. The results of the study show that for a moreprofound sociolinguistic study of surzhyk and its impact on the linguistic situation in the modernUkraine, it is necessary to continue researching the perception of this subcode, also in Slavic studiescenters outside Ukraine. This will help perceive the phenomenon from a broader perspective.
