Overview

Barbara Alicja Janczak is dedicated to the study of language contact on the German-Polish border. Especially from the perspective of linguistics, the German-Polish border is a highly interesting object of study. First, this border is characterized by a double linguistic discontinuity (cf. Kimura 2013, 2017, Kamusella & Nomachi 2014). By describing and analyzing the communication strategies of the inhabitants and the communication routines of the traders of the Polish-German borderland, the author wishes to fill a research gap regarding the study of language contact in border areas, and especially on the German-Polish border. Although the book is a linguistic treatise, it is devoted to the study of German-Polish language contact in a multidisciplinary view. The empirical data were collected as part of a research project on language contact and bilingualism in the German-Polish border region. The analyzed content touches the fields of applied linguistics, including interlinguistics, contrastive linguistics, multilingualism research, sociolinguistics, cultural studies, and broadly defined border studies.
