Spiskie pogranicza i kontakty językowe. Historia, stan, perspektywy badawcze
Linguistic borderlands and contacts of the Polish Spisz region. History, current research state, new prospects

Summary/Abstract: The Polish region of Spisz is an example of a border region that has changed its nationality many times. For many centuries it remained under the control of the Hungarian and Slovak political systems. Its culture also bears traces of German and Walachian influences. Historical conditions, as well as processes of migration and globalisation, have made the region a place where different language codes have come into contact and coexisted over time, both at the national and local level. This issue is explored using material from the Korpus Spiski - a database of texts and dialect recordings. The description of specified linguistic oppositions and types of interlingual communication has opened up new research perspectives.
