Summary/Abstract: The subject of the description are the hybrid structures in closely related languages – Slovak and Polish. Most linguists perceive hybrids as a separate phenomenon of word formation which provide the basis for linguistic description. Slovak dictionaries consider the formation of a hybrid as a word having in its composition native and foreign elements. Polish linguistic literature sees many inconsistencies in their defining. The purpose of this article is to set these issues in order, though, and indicate the necessity for such language units functioning in today’s Slavic languages. Competition between native and foreign forms results from the tendency towards internationalisation of formative systems of Slavic languages.
