„DWADZIEŚCIA LAT PÓŹNIEJ” – JĘZYK POLSKI POZA GRANICAMI KRAJU – HISTORIA BADAŃ I ICH PERSPEKTYWY
“Twenty years later” – the Polish language abroad – the history and prospects of the research

Summary/Abstract: The studies of the Polish language abroad were initiated by W. Doroszewski in 1938 with his monograph titled Język polski w Stanach Zjednoczonych A. P. (The Polish language in the USA). They fall into four chronological periods: 1945– –1970, 1971–1989/90, 1990–2004, after 2004. In the fi rst period, the works were carries out occasionally due to political restrictions. The period which proved signifi cant for their development was the second one, when a programme of interdisciplinary studies of the Polish community abroad was developed. The third period saw fi rst synthetic publications and new research circles, which considerably expanded both their objective and methodological scope in the last decade. Due to dynamic changes of the contemporary Polish home and abroad, there is a need for commencing works on a new synthesis of knowledge, one that would cover this branch of Polish linguistics.
