Summary/Abstract: One of the two types of morphological homonymy is the inflexional homonymy i.e. the surface convergence of syntactically different forms of the same lexeme. The article analyses the occurrence of homonymie flexional forms of nouns in contemporary Polish. The author discusses here the following points: 1) homonymy in particular declensions (masc., fem., neuter); 2) interdeclension homonymy; 3) homonymy of word-forms of different noun lexemes. Particular declensions have catégoriel and non-câtegorial homonymie types. The conclusion is that “the most categorial" homonymy can be found in masculine and neuter declensions. Word-forms of different lexemes which are formally convergent produce homonymie clusters.
