SYTUACJA JĘZYKA POLSKIEGO W ŚWIECIE
The situation of the Polish language in the world

Summary/Abstract: The Polish language is present in two basic communication communities: the dense community in Poland and the diasporic community abroad. The present situation of the Polish language in the world depends directly on the transformations which occurred in its contemporary history, that is the period 1939-1945-1990-2000. In comparison to global languages, the mobility of Polish is limited. Yet it can be hoped that the Polish language will properly fi t into the civilisation situation in the integrated world and it can be assumed that the development of Polish will be progressive. The current situation of Polish abroad, which signifi cantly differs from the one described ten-odd years ago, justifi es the postulate of a new study, which would include demographic, geographic, linguistic, cultural and economic determinants.
