Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is a presentation and structural analysis of socialpolitical occasionalisms occurring in contemporary Polish press published in Lithuania. Presented lexical material provides many examples of new vocabulary, both systemic and extra-systemic, functioning in Vilnius Polish nowadays. As the analysis shows, the most numerous group of structures in each derivation type is occasional forms created from personal names - surnames (e.g. Brazauskas, Paksas, Lenin, Rusłana, Stalin, Widacki, Zuokas etc.) and from the names of political parties (e.g. PPL). These are usually expressive forms qualified negatively. Those occasionalisms appeared in definite situations and linguistic contexts. Its occasional character derives from the connection with a certain political situation in the state, which happened at a certain time.
