About the book:<br>
the book documents the spoken Polish of oldest Bukovina
inhabitants – a geographical and historical region on the border
of Ukraine and Romania. the spoken Polish in Bukovina is a dying
heritage that holds a unique value for the Polish culture. It
constitutes a conglomeration of local varieties of Polish, whose
speakers arrived in waves from remote regions to an area that
never belonged to the Polish state. These dialects then grew in
long-term isolation from other versions of the Polish language
while being surrounded by languages from three other groups:
Germanic, Slavic, and Romance. The book provides numerous examples
of the use of spoken Polish. the method used in the study –
language as a guide to the experienced world – provides an insight
into the world of Bukovina inhabitants, allowing readers to learn
about the linguistic phenomena and sociocultural processes that
underlie the everyday functioning of multilingual and
multicultural social communities. <br>
