Draws attention to the processes of changing the image of a Ukrainian as another in the Polish literary text. Beginning with the first written references to the cultural and historical dialogue between the two ethnic groups, the Ukrainian- Polish ties have changed. These are the influences of the Ukrainian language in Polish literary texts as far back as the XVI century. The Cossacks’ interest in this period, especially in the context of wars with Cossacks and Turks, is intensifying during this period.

The Ukrainian-Polish cultural discourse is considered in the context of the communicative relations of His-Other, while changing the cognitive completeness of both terms during the history of relations and coexistence of both peoples in the his- torical retrospection.
