Social values of an added literacy
Reading and writing in Latgalian constitute an added literacy within a multilingual repertoire of skills and practices where Standard Latvian dominates. In this situation, the social and symbolic values of literacy and orthography are more important than their practical value in everyday life. This paper discusses the historical development and the current importance of the Latgalian written language from such a perspective. We draw on a case stu…
Mikroliteratura mikrojęzyka mikrospołeczności. Wilamowice, Fliöra-Fliöra i ich literatura
Artykuł omawia twórczość Floriana Biesika (o rodzimym przydomku Fliöra-Fliöra, stanowiącym też jego pseudonim literacki) – najbardziej do tej pory znanego pisarza i twórcy literackiego języka wilamowskiego (wymysiöeryś). Jego postać i literackie dzieła omówiono na tle fenomenu, dziejów i mikrojęzyka Wilamowic – miejscowości położonej w południowej Polsce i stanowiącej unikalną enklawę etnolingwistyczną pogranicza germańsko-słowiańskiego. Metodolo…
Awakening the Language and Speakers’ Community of Wymysiöeryś
The town of Wilamowice (southern Poland) is the unique home to the community of speakers of Wymysiöeryś. The language enclave originates from Colonial Middle High German and – according to diachronic dialectological analyses – is made up of a sub-exclave of the so-called Bielitz-Bialaer Sprachinsel. As a result of social and political cataclysms brought by the Second World War and the following ban on and gap in its intergenerational transmission…
Être ou ne pas être (une minorité) ?Le kachoube en Pologne
Nous entendons explorer dans cet article les tensions qu’a suscité la mise en place de la Charte en Pologne. L’un des points de friction les plus manifestes concerne la singularisation du kachoube au détriment des autres langues moins répandues. Ceci sera évoqué à la lumière de l’expertise d’un des deux auteurs qui fut étroitement associé à la mise en place de la Charte en Pologne. Ce débat a également, avec une moindre visibilité mais une égale …

The Making of a Language
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 …
Ethnic revival of the German minority in Poland
This paper presents the background and results of the recent ethnic revival experienced by the German minority group(s) in Poland, officially recognized as late as in 1989. The author presents an outline of the postwar history of the so-called autochthonous groups and ethnic Germans. The problematic question of number and criteria for German identity is discussed. The author focuses on the sociolinguistic aspect of the attempt to construct a mode…
