Chosen nomenclature such as: gender (ru. гендер), homosexuality (pl. homoseksualizm;ru. гомосексуализм / гомосексуальность), LGBT (ru. ЛГБТ) is researched. First, the methodological frame is established (discourse analysis), which is followed by a description of Gender Studies and the significance of the researched terms. With this background, it is analyzed how the non-scientific interest in the terms proper for Gender Studies was forming. Subsequently, the main actors of the debates concerning Gender Studies and basic argumentation schemas are pointed out.

Maslowska, M. Witkowski and S. Shuty. The preliminary analysis included in Chapter 1 has enabled the present author to establish several objectives of the research, viz. to locate, describe and analyse the aforementioned basic challenges from the linguistic, literary and cultural points of view on the basis of prose and drama written by selected Polish authors born in the 1970's and 1980's. The corpus analysed comprises seven works by the aforementioned present-day authors that have been translated into Russian by four different translators over the last ten years. The works are as follows: Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą bialo-czerwoną, Dwoje biednych Rumunow mowiących po polsku, Miedzy Nami Dobrze Jest by Dorota Maslowska (the former two translated by I. Lappo, the latter by I. Kiselova); Lubiewo, Margot, Barb...

Praca ma charakter porównawczy, a więc osobno prezentowane są kwestie problematyczne w polskim systemie wokalicznym, konsonantycznym oraz akcentowym w zestawieniu ze słowackim. W każdej z trzech części przedstawiane są typowe błędy w wymowie i pisowni pojawiające się w wypowiedziach ustnych i pisemnych studentów. Celem przyczynku jest przedstawienie wagi kształcenia kompetencji fonologicznej na lektoracie w taki sposób, aby zminimalizować negatywny transfer językowy.

This paper deals with Slavic demonology presented in the collection of short stories The Last Wish (Ostatnie życzenie) by the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Sapkowski created his own world, where the demons from Slavic mythology, besides German and Celtic, play an important role. The authors of this paper choose 6 demons from the collection of short stories (in Polish: kikimora, leszy, rokita, rusałka, strzyga, Żywia ) , describe their original function in the Polish mythology and folklore and
analyze how these demons were presented in the stories. Then the Slovak translation of the demons is compared with the original names as well as with the Slovak mythology and folklore. Similarities and
differences are explained.

Masłowska, M. Witkowski and S. Shuty. The preliminary analysis included in Chapter 1 has enabled the present author to establish several objectives of the research, viz. to locate, describe and analyse the aforementioned basic challenges from the linguistic, literary and cultural points of view on the basis of prose and drama written by selected Polish authors born in the 1970's and 1980's. The corpus analysed comprises seven works by the aforementioned present-day authors that have been translated into Russian by four different translators over the last ten years. The works are as follows: Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną, Dwoje biednych Rumunów mówiących po polsku, Między Nami Dobrze Jest by Dorota Masłowska (the former two translated by I. Lappo, the latter by I. Kiselova); Lubiewo, Margot, Barbara Radziwiłłówna z Jaworzna-Szczakowej by Michał Witkowski (translated by I. Chainikov); and Zwał by Sławomir Shuty (translated by L. Tsyvian). The aforementioned works are of interest in that they contain numerous potential translation challenges, as has been admitted by their authors themselves. The challenges in question have been placed in two categories, the first of which is focused on linguistic issues, primarily nonstandard language (e.g. slang, jargon, borrowings, code mixing, taboo vocabulary and offensive words) included in the aforementioned works and translated. The other category is focused on literary and cultural issues and concerns the translation of inter-textual relations at four levels: text-text, text-genre, text-culture and phraseology. This bipartite classification does not entail a strict separation of the two categories but rather a degree of overlap, yet it allows for different points of view on linguistic and cultural challenges in translation. All the phenomena discussed are supported by examples coming from the original texts and their translations and described in detail. To paint a more comprehensive picture of linguistic and cultural challenges, the two aforementioned categories of items studied have been supplied with a third viewpoint, an extrinsic one. This entails the Russian reception of the works by the three writers against the backdrop of synchronically and historically considered reception of Polish literature and culture in Russia. The factors that have been taken account of include the study of post-Soviet-bloc cultural relationships between Poland and Russia, the comparative study of the development of modern literature in both countries and the policies of the Russian publishers that have decided to publish those works. Thanks to this comprehensive approach to comparison, there appears a relatively full image of linguistic and cultural challenges that occur at various stages: the decision to publish a translation of a given work by a young Polish author in Russia, in the translation process, when potential traps await translators as they create the target language text, and finally, the functioning of the completed translation in Russian culture. Discussing these challenges transcends the boundaries of single cases in point, for an attempt has been made herein to present a more general image of challenges in literary translation from Polish into Russian as well as a description of present-day cultural relationships between Poland and Russia. The synchronic and historical comparative view has also allowed for pointing out the similarities and differences between the present-day cultural and literary situations of the two nations.

M. Cyv'yan. Examples from the original and translated texts are examined and compared on the basis of four technics of translating idioms, described by Krzysztof Hejwowski in his monography Kognitywno-komunikacyjna teoria przekładu. On this ground, a couple of objections are formed against translation practice of L. M. Cyv'yan, which lead to more general conclusions and assumptions as regards translating slang and modern literature.

Reception of work depends on: which strategies uses the translator, whether he/she leaves cultural content in the same state, or he/she tries to make it more accesible to readers by means of comments in the text or in footnotes, whethwer he/she ‘sterilizes’ the text of potentially not understandable elements or makes them more ‘target-reader-friendly’. This paper aims to evaluate the three works by Dorota Maslowska that were translated into Russian from the point of view of their reception in the Russian Internet sources. It aims also to reflect on degree of untranslability of these works due to their roots in critics of Polish complexes, phobias, disadvantages, mentality and language that the Poles use, which is full of errors, slang and calque.

The paper is of a comparative nature, so the problematic issues are presented separately in the Polish vowel, consonant and accent system compared to the Slovak one. In each of the three parts, typical pronunciation and spelling errors are present that occur in students' spoken and written work. The aim of this contribution is to present the importance of phonological competence training during the foreign language course in such a way as to minimise negative language transfer.

Część III został napisany z myślą o osobach, które znają język polski na poziomie B1. Stanowi on kontynuację publikacji autorstwa Kingi Wawrzyniak oraz Moniki Krzempek pod tym samym tytułem. Tematy lekcji, materiał leksykalny i zagadnienia gramatyczne dobrano w oparciu o standardy wymagań egzaminacyjnych zawarte na stronie certyfikatpolski.pl oraz podstawy podejścia zadaniowego opisane w Europejskim Systemie Opisu Kształcenia Językowego (2003) – praca z podręcznikiem ma doprowadzić uczących się do opanowania języka polskiego na poziomie B2. Publikacja powstała w ramach projektów:
Międzynarodowego Funduszu Wyszehradzkiego (International Visegrad Fund) VUSG No 61000029 i jest przeznaczona na wewnętrzny użytek Uniwersytetu Komeńskiego w Bratysławie.
Studenci uczący się języka polskiego na Wydziale Filozoficznym UK posługują się też innymi językami słowiańskimi, dzięki czemu nauka polszczyzny może przebiegać szybciej. Ze względu na to, że pomoce do nauki języka polskiego dostępne na rynku nie są dostosowane do specyficznych potrzeb docelowej grupy odbiorców, zrodził się pomysł wypełnienia tej luki.
The textbook Polski na A. Część III was written for students with a B1 level of Polish. It is the continuation of publications’ series by Kinga Wawrzyniak and Monika Krzempek. Each lesson’s topics, lexical and grammatical materials were chosen based on the certification standard

Studenci uczący się języka polskiego na Wydziale Filozoficznym UK posługują się też innymi językami słowiańskimi, dzięki czemu nauka polszczyzny może przebiegać szybciej.
