Abstract

Internationalisms – especially those of the Latin provenance – prove the common cultural heritage of European countries. The aim of the article is to describe the nature and the origin of internationalisms by the examples taken from German and Polish legal language. The essay characterizes both international lexemes, syntagmas, phraseologisms and sentences, which have been grammatically adapted to the target language as well as Latinisms which were taken over in their original form.
