Abstract
As signalled in the title, the paper has a dual purpose: it discusses the German lexical influence on Polish and also the Piotrowski-Altmann law. The first focus requires a qualitative historical linguistic approach, whereas the second is more quantitative in nature. The paper shows that when these two approaches are combined new insights can be gained.
