Wielojęzyczność i wielokulturowość przedwojennego Lwowa i Czerniowiec w świetle frazematyki
Multilingualism and multiculturalism in pre-war Lviv and Chernivtsi in the context of phrasematics

Summary/Abstract: This article concerns the phrasematics of the Polish language of pre-war Lviv and Chernivtsi. These cities were multilingual and multicultural, and Polish language was represented there by the South-Eastern dialect. Foreign influences in Lviv and Chernivtsi phrasematics can be summarized as: citation, calque, half-calqua, as well as lexical borrowings, on the basis of which phrasemes were created. In general, the phrasemes discussed in the article can be divided into two groups. On the one hand, we deal with phrasemes characteristic of pre-war Lviv and Chernivtsi, unknown beyond these cities or, more broadly, outside of Eastern Galicia and Bukovina. This is particularly evident in the phrasematics referring to the Romanian language. On the other hand, the phrasematics of the South-Eastern dialect with German influences shows some similarity to the dialectal phrasematics of those parts of Poland which were exposed to the strong influence of the German language.
