The perpetrator who violates regulations of the penal law is liable to the most severe sanctions, namely, loss or limitation of the most important human values like freedom, property or good name. The present article addresses selected terms of the Polish penal law with reference to their equivalents in the German system. The article begins with the presentation of the system of penalties and penal means in the Polish penal code and its comparison with the system being legally binding in Germany. This is followed by an analysis of the equivalents from a selected Polish-German dictionary and of translation solutions in the German translation of the Polish penal code.</p>}, journal={Comparative Legilinguistics}, author={SIEWERT-KOWALKOWSKA, Katarzyna}, year={2016}, month={Nov.}, pages={69–84} }
