The article presents an analysis of new intensifiers mega- and giga- and words prefixed by them in contemporary colloquial Polish. The author tried to describe the morphologic behaviour of these prefixes, their semantic value and syntax. Focus was put mainly on determining the semantic value of those new intensifiers and their current usage in Polish. It appears that although current dictionaries of Polish language do not even mention the colloquial usage of mega- and giga-, those prefixes are commonly used in spoken and written language, not only by teenagers, but also by adults, including journalists and advertising copywriters.

The article presents an analysis of words prefixed with maxi- in contemporary French. We tried to describe the morphologic behaviour of this prefix and its semantic value, where it works as a feature intensifier. Focus was put on the productivity and vitality of the prefix. The maxi- prefix appeared in French in the 70s. It entered the language through fashion clothing. Then its use spread widely, mainly thanks to advertising. Currently it appears in several fields other than fashion, including description of cosmetics, household appliances, transportation and tourism. It can be found in the naming of companies, products, website addresses, etc. It is also used by many French in everyday language, e.g. in internet blogs. Dictionaries give only a few examples of its use, mainly in the language of fashion, which does not cover all possible potential combinations of maxi-, mainly with nouns and adjectives.
