One of them is the word <em>millennials</em>, a lexical borrowing from English, which has been depluralized in Polish and is represented by the forms <em>millennials</em> – <em>milllennialsi</em>. Other words with a similar structure include <em>lokals</em>, <em>normals</em>, <em>naturals</em>, <em>specjals</em>, <em>terytorials</em>, <em>totals</em>. A part of them have arisen as a result of word-formation with the English suffix <em>-s</em>. 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.</p> ER -
