Abstrakt

The paper outlines the research on the usage of English borrowings, specifically acronyms, in the Polish medical language. The raw data is presented alongside a discussion about the findings and their implications. The research was conducted manually, with the assistance of basic electronic tools, on a personally prepared corpus consisting of an annual run of Kurier Medyczny, a journal that covers general medical topics. The analysis included the techniques of introducing the borrowed acronyms to the readers, their general meanings, as well as data related to their frequency within the corpus.
