In present-day German, the majority of Anglicisms have masculine gender, whereas Polonisms more often exhibit feminine gender. The paper investigates the rules of gender assignment with regard to Anglicisms and Polonisms (the latter based on a corpus of loan words in the dialect of Silesia) in order to account for the difference.
