Аннотация

The article concerns the selected problems of relations between Polish and Baltic (limited to Lithuanian and Latvian) languages and cultures. The author considers the relations existing on grammar and lexis as traditionally specifying language levels as well as in more complex domains like cultural stereotypes and mythology or religion. The main aim of the essay is to make a review of relations between chosen languages and cultures. Furthermore, the author attempts to point the various methodological solutions useful in describing the language and culture borderlines. The remarks and observations included in the article show that one can use many methodologies e.g. historical and comparative linguistics, comparative dialectology, cognitive and cultural linguistics. Thanks to reviewing and demanding character of the article it can be interesting for linguists as well as representatives of other humanistic domains.
