An English-Polish version of this dictionary is underway. For a detailed description of Polish grammar, the user is referred to the author's Grammar of Contemporary Polish (Slavica: 2002). The user is expected to be familiar with the principles of Polish inflection, hence regular and predictable endings and formations are not The technical apparatus is kept to a minimum and should be mostly self-evident to the English-speaking learner. A conservative approach has been applied to the inclusion of recent transparent borrowings from American popular culture, technology, and business, although some are included. Most terms related to the social sciences and the humanities are included. It does not attempt complete coverage of archaic words technical or scientific terms outside the range of common usage names of uncommon plants and animals most geographic designations the latest in international borrowings.
This dictionary contains over 30,000 entries. Its success in that form led to its publication in its present, hard-copy form. Designed to overcome the shortcomings, for learners of Polish, of Polish-English dictionaries written by and intendedįor native-speaking Poles, this work was first published and used in classes over the internet. A Learner's Polish-English Dictionary is intended primarily for the English-speaking reader of Polish interested in arriving at the central and commonest meanings of a word.
