The article presents an analysis of phrases and proverbs with a toponymic component, which were excerpted from lexicographic sources recording Silesian dialects. The object of description is the image of “a little motherland”, or to be more precise, little Silesian motherlands (Śląsk Cieszyński, Górny Śląsk oraz Śląsk Opolski), which is present in those units (i.e. phrases and proverbs). Thanks to particular toponyms in phraseology and paremiology, the following aspects of old times reality have been preserved: administrative centers, the development of industry and railroading, mental health care, education, prison system, agriculture, craftsmanship, trade, religious life, dialectal differences between residents of neighbouring towns, real estate.

The article is a special continuation of the paper published in the previous volume of Studia Linguistica entitled “A little motherland” in the Light of Phraseology and Paremiology of Silesian Dialects. It contains the analysis of those phraseological units and proverbs found in dictionaries documenting Silesian dialects which refer to the so-called rest of the world, namely the world which is not ‘a little motherland’ of a Silesian, but is situated outside its borders. The components of presented units are the names of Polish and foreign towns, regions, European and non-European countries, adjectives derived from these toponyms, as well as nouns denoting the inhabitants of countries (ethnonyms). The units have been presented in the order which made it possible to show the spreading – in a geographical sense – of this world. Thus, the presentation of ‘the rest of the world’ contains the point of view of a Silesian, for whom ‘the little motherland’ is located in the centre of the world, while everything outside of it is perceived as more or less remote places. Silesian phraseology and paremiology presented in the article cannot become the basis for any far-reaching opinions on the image of this ‘rest of the world.’
