Formations with the -s suffix: normals, terytorials, totals

Summary/Abstract: In recent years, there appeared in Polish a series of words ending in -als. One of them is the word millennials, a lexical borrowing from English, which has been depluralized in Polish and is represented by the forms millennials – milllennialsi. Other words with a similar structure include lokals, normals, naturals, specjals, terytorials, totals. A part of them have arisen as a result of word-formation with the English suffix -s. The paper contains an analysis of these words, and attempts to answer the question how these words were created, and in what meanings they function in contemporary Polish.
