Summary/Abstract: Linquistic consequences of various socio-political and economic changes in the country are mostly revealed in press, radio and television. The aim of the article is to present and analyze internationalisms which have been observed recently in the Polish press in Lithuania. In the lexical material presented, layers of socio-political lexis of international scope in the form of lexical and morphemic internationalisms can be noticed. While analyzing the identified thematic groups, it appeared that the predominant lexical class are terms connected with EU, politics as well as NATO and military. Apparent advantage of internationalisms of this kind refers to integration and recent Lithuania’s accession to EU and NATO. The process of internationalization of the analyzed lexis is connected with the rise of new kinds of word formation and constituents in the Polish language. As a result, hybrid constructions emerged, i.e. constructions in which foreign international elements of word formation such as: agro-, bio-, cyber-, euro-, e-, tele-, etc are found. Lexems presented in this article are good examples of international words, being at the same time evidence of unified tendencies within European lexical division
