Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the types of morphological adaptation characteristic of lexical borrowings in to the Polish language spoken in Great Britain. The author describes morphological transformations of nouns, adjectives and the derivation of verbs. With regard to the adaptation of nouns attention is paid to the ways of gender formation: inclusion of a word into the Polish paradigm with an appropriate phonetic ending, reliance on semantic equivalents, reciprocal influence of formal and semantic factors leading to combined gender formation, and addition of form-creating morpheme (gender exponent), as well as occurrence of disintegral derivation.
