The Communicative Potential of Polish: Code Mixing from the Perspective of Recipients’ Attitudes. Preliminary Research on Non-Normative Linguistic Material

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a procedure for conducting an innovative analysis of utterance functioning featuring code mixing, from the perspective of assessing the impact of deviations from linguistic norms on the attitudes of recipients of communication involving closely related languages. It thus falls within the scope of contact linguistics, primarily its experimental branch. Particular focus is placed on the communicative potential of Polish and the phenomenon of West Slavic intercomprehension, illustrated by a linguistic stimulus (which also serves as the basis for the discussed communication experiment). The ultimate goal of the presented research is to verify the attitudes of recipients and to examine the degree of potential correlation between the assessment of communication difficulties and the actual decoding capabilities regarding the informational value of communication with ambiguous linguistic affiliations within closely related West Slavic ethnolects, from a symmetrical perspective, i.e., from the perspective of recipients who are native users of both languages in the pair. Statistical tools were employed during the research, enabling precise illustration of the observed processes. The analysis confirmed a clear tendency among representatives of the research group to focus attention on native (“familiar”) features of the linguistic stimulus. However, no correlation was found between the subjective perception of cognitive difficulty and the objective ability to access key informational content.
