Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kamen sehr viele lexikalische Entlehnungen in der polnischen Alltagssprache unter, was vor allem die Folge der Bekämpfung der Mundarten und der Germanismen war. In der vorliegenden Monographie wird das Schicksal der Germanismen in der Alltagssprache von Ko¿cierzyna, Starogard Gdäski und W¿brze¿no beschrieben. Die Beschreibung erfolgt aufgrund der Befragung von der Generation der Großeltern, der Eltern und Kinder. Es konnten bemerkbare Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Generationen hinsichtlich der Kenntnis der Germanismen festgestellt werden. Während die älteste Generation noch ziemlich viele Germanismen kennt, sind der jüngsten Generation die meisten lexikalischen Entlehnungen aus dem Deutschen fremd.

Er geht der These nach, dass die Liebe unter den Bedingungen der Spätmoderne ein Phänomen ist, das sich mit Schlüsselkategorien der Spieltheorie adäquat erfassen lässt.
