Język polski w Niemczech. Wpływ języka niemieckiego na polszczyznę Polonii w Niemczech na przykładzie trybu przypuszczającego
Polish in Germany. The influence of German on the speech of Polish heritage speakers (Polonia) illustrated by the example of the use of the conditional

Summary/Abstract: Polish in Germany has hardly been analyzed systematically so far, although a large population with Polish ancestry can be found there. This paper reveals how Polish heritage speakers in Germany characteristically use the conditional. The study’s findings are the result of an initial analysis of the ‘Hamburg Corpus of Bilingualism of Polish in Germany’ (HamCoPoliG). The article concludes by comparing these specific results with current, general research on heritage speakers’ use of conditional forms and shows that not all phenomena can be explained by the influence of German.
