The book presents unique literature in a minority ethnolect - the Germanic dialect of Wilamowice in Southern Poland. The manuscripts, written in the ethnolect at the beginning of the 20th century, were discovered in 1989. The book contains full versions of several texts of various length written by Florian Biesik, who decided to create a literary standard for Wilamowicean in order to prove its non-German, but possibly Anglo-Saxon, Dutch, Flemish or Frisian origin. Thus it presents both the dialectal literature and the most important elements of the local culture during the final stages of its extinction.
The Kashubs, a regional autochthonous group inhabiting northern Poland, represent one of the most dynamic ethnic groups in Europe. As a community, they have undergone significant political, social, economic and cultural change over the last hundred years. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Kashubs were citizens of Germany. In the period between the two World Wars they were divided between three political entities: the Republic of Poland, the Free City of Danzig and Germany. During the Second World War, many Kashubs were murdered, and communist Poland subsequently tried to destroy the social ties that bound the community together. The year 1989 finally brought about a democratic breakthrough, at which point the Kashubs became actively engaged in the construction of their regional identity, with the Kashubian language performing a particularly important role. This volume is the first scholarly monograph on the history, culture and language of the Kashubs to be published in English since 1935. The book systematically explores the most important aspects of Kashubian identity - national, regional, linguistic, cultural and religious - from both historical and contemporary perspectives.
Der Band thematisiert die besonderen Bedingungen des deutsch-polnischen Sprachkontakts auf deutscher und polnischer Seite. Dieser Spezifik entsprechend ist das Buch gegliedert in die thematischen Schwerpunkte "Potenzial von Zweisprachigkeit und Einstellungen zur Zweisprachigkeit, Linguistische Untersuchungen zur Zweisprachigkeit und Grenzregion und Mehrsprachigkeit". Das Buchprojekt ist in Kooperation deutscher und polnischer Linguisten entstanden und geht auf eine Sektionentagung der Gesellschaft fur Angewandte Linguistik (GAL) zuruck. Dass die Autorinnen und Autoren ihre Beitrage auf Deutsch und Polnisch verfasst haben, steht programmatisch fur die Intention dieser Publikation: Interesse zu wecken fur die Spezifik des (zu) wenig beachteten deutsch-polnischen Sprachkontakts. Tematem przewodnim tomu sa szczegolne uwarunkowania polsko-niemieckiego kontaktu jezykowego zarowno w Polsce jak i w Niemczech. W zwiazku ze wspomniana specyfika w zbiorze porusza sie nastepujace zagadnienia: "Potencjal dwujezycznosci i nastawienie do dwujezycznosci, Lingwistyczne badania dwujezycznosci oraz Region nadgraniczny i wielojezycznosc". Tom ten powstal w ramach wspolpracy polskich i niemieckich lingwistow, ktora zainicjowana zostala na Konferencji Towarzystwa Lingwistyki Stosowanej - Gesellschaft fur Angewandte Linguistik (GAL). Fakt, ze artykuly zawarte w tym tomie napisane sa w jezyku niemieckim lub polskim, wynika z intencji przyswiecajacej powstaniu tejze publikacji: wzbudzic zainteresowanie specyfika (za) malo zauwazanego polsko-niemieckiego kontaktu jezykowego.
