The security service (SB) has been interested in the staff of the University of Silesia since its creation (1968), however, a significant increase in that type of interest was noticed in the 1970s and 1980s. The scope of observation of academic circles has increased at that time, finishing this very process with the formation of a separate unit of the SB in 1982, the task of which was a struggle with anti-systemic attitudes in the environment of higher education in Katowice. In its operation- al work, SB gained secret agents (TW) from the academic circle (academics, students, academic- technical workers, supportive organs), and used operational connections (KO). The operational connections involved usually members of the Polish United Workers Party. It was assumed that they are to some extent obliged to “help” the security organs, without imposing any formal com- mitments consisting in signing the declarations of cooperation on the secret service organ at the same time. They worked more eagerly than secret agents who were often gained via blackmail or other forms of compulsion. Operational contacts in the form of people performing big and decisive functions in the university were often used. After November 1989, a subsequent reorganization of the SB, deriving from a change of the political situation in the country, the task of the “security” of higher education and academic institutions was taken over (together with an agency) by the Constitutional State Order Protec- tion Division. Its officers closed the case “University” in January 1990 and made the exposition materials be destroyed. Finally, the observation of the academic circle by the structures of the security service finished with its liquidation between May and August 1990.

The aim of this article is to present the scientific and publishing activities of Slavic linguists and linguodidacticians working at the University of Silesia in Katowice (Sosnowiec). We hereby present the recent scientific achievements covering the period 2018 to 2023 and describe the results of this research. The scientific interests and achievements are preceded by a brief description of the history of Slovak studies as an institution that educates Slovakists and conducts scientific research, cooperating with other Slovak scientific centres and institutions supporting education. The research interests of Silesian Slovakists oscillate around Slovak lexis and lexicology, as well as word formation and semantics. These include synchronic, confrontative, and contrastive Polish-Slovak and Slovak-Polish research and lexicological ones. Additionally, apart from the purely linguistic interests of Slovakists, the focus of their interest is linguodidactics and teaching Slovak as a foreign language.
