Zróżnicowanie językowe świata jako wartość kulturowa
Worldwide language differentiation as a cultural value

Summary/Abstract: Language differentiation is an unquestionable fact, nonetheless its magnitude is not.The causes of the divergence are twofold: the first rests in our paucity of knowledgeabout the large number of languages; the other derives from the fact that there are noclear-cut linguistic criteria to differentiate between an individual language and a dialectof a language. Out of controversies within the status of such and similar tools of socialcommunication rose the popularity of the concept and term of ethnolect. That languagesare differentiated across the world can be approached from two points of view:a practical and communicative one (that can be the position held by communicationengineering) and an anthropocultural one.
