Słowiańszczyzna znana i nieznana. O przeszłości i współczesności słowiańskich języków literackich

Abstract

In the introduction to the present article, the author presents criteria for the classification of Slavic languages and draws attention to the existence of different research approaches to languages. There follows an overview of familiar and lesser-known Slavic languages: national languages with a long tradition and a large number of speakers; literary microlanguages; non- -standard dialects (mixed languages), etc. Some Slavic languages were created or revitalized after 1989 or resulted from political decisions. The article details the respective names of these languages – in Polish, in the original (i.e. in the given language) and in Russian.
