Summary/Abstract: This article constitutes the second partof a series of papers devoted to 1117 Polish deriva-tional neologisms in Obserwatorium Językowe Uni-wersytetu Warszawskiego (Language Obserwatory ofthe University of Warsaw). Its aim is to present andanalyse 334 new substantival compounds in the Pol-ish language. The author divides them into groupsof derivational neologisms created by the use of thesame formative technique and containing the samepart of the compound. The study concludes that thebiggest class of the described new substantival com-pounds in contemporary Polish language consistsof structures without any affixes. As for the mor-phemes used to create them, the interfix -o- turnedout to be the most productive. Most of them con-tain the elements e- (abbreviated adjective elektro-niczny [electronic]) and -mat (abbreviated nounautomat).
