JĘZYK WSPÓŁCZESNEJ POLONII KANADYJSKIEJ A NORMA JĘZYKOWA – ROZWAŻANIA WSTĘPNE
The language of the contemporary Polish community in Canada versus standard language – preliminary discussions

Summary/Abstract: Normally, the issue of standard language is not touched upon with reference to the language used by Polish communities abroad because some of its variants is usage-related only. However, in the case of standard and cultural variants of the language used by the Polish community in Canada, the employment of a normative description of may be applicable on condition that the notion of a multi-level norm is adopted. What can be distinguished here is practised, propagated and approved norms. The application of such a classifi cation of norms enables the attachment of importance to new aspects of the sociolect used by Polish communities abroad, its analysis and description. Such an approach combines language culture, sociolinguistics and linguistic pragmatics.
