Tendencje rozwojowe we współczesnym polskim i czeskim systemie adresatywnym

The present outline is an attempt to describe the changes which occurred in the Polish and Czech address system following 1989. In the centre of attention there are standard, professional  and  functional  terms  of  address  and  also  their  combinations  with  a  name  and surname. The author defines the factors influencing the Polish and Czech address system. Among them, he discerns not only the political and economic ones but also points to the historical, cultural and moral conditions. Special  attention  has  been  paid  to  new  phenomena  observable  in  the  studied  address systems and to the direction of their potential alterations.
