WHAT DOES POLGLISH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Poglish

Poglish, Polglish or Ponglish, a portmanteau word combining the words "Polish" and "English," designates the product of mixing Polish- and English-language elements within a single speech production, or the use of "false friends" and of cognate words in senses that have diverged from those of the common etymological root. Such combining or confusion of Polish and English elements, when it occurs within a single word, term or phrase, may, inadvertently or deliberately, produce a neologism. Poglish is a common phenomenon among persons bilingual in Polish and English, and its avoidance requires considerable effort and attention. Poglish is a manifestation of a broader phenomenon, that of language interference. As is the case with the mixing of other language pairs, the results of Poglish speech may sometimes be confusing, amusing or embarrassing. Variant names for this linguistic melange include "Polglish", "Pinglish" and "Ponglish". A term sometimes used by native Polish-speakers is "Half na pół".
