The present study is concerned with contact-induced German–Slavic linguistic transfer occurring in several Slavic languages. It investigates the relevance of the so-called size factor which implies that the amount of transfer depends on the size of the speakers’ community. The central hypothesis the paper calls into question is, thus, as follows: the smaller the community, the greater the amount of linguistic transfer. After analyzing several linguistic variables (modals, definite article,  habeo-factum  constructions, dual), it is found that direct correlation between the size of the speakers’ community and the amount of linguistic transfer cannot be confirmed. A reason for varying amounts of transfer might, however, be the role of purism which, on its part, seems to be dependent on the size factor, at least to a certain degree.
