Abstract:

The analysis of names of animals in Polish and Modern Standard Arabic shows that in both languages the most diverse names refer to domestic animals and game animals (the latter particularly in Polish). In both languages those names differentiate between animals in terms of sex, age, group organization and in case of Polish language also in terms of their functionality. These semantic categories are represented bylexical-semantic classes of names being both derivatives and separate lexemes (the latter mainly in case of farm animals).
