Stanisław Lem, who created extraordinary worlds in his science fiction works, was well known not only for an exceptional imagination, but also for a sophisticated sense of word-formation. The products of his imagination have fascinated researchers from many scientific disciplines: literary scholars, philosophers, sociologists, astronomers, or futurologists. Linguists have to be included in this group as well, since Lem poured his brilliant ideas onto paper, inserting into the descriptions of the invented worlds not only words featured in Polish dictionaries, but also borrowings from foreign languages and his own neologisms. As a matter of fact, these neologisms caused almost cosmic problems for Lem's translators.
