PERCEPCIJA BOSANSKOG JEZIKA U POLJSKOJ
THE PERCEPTION OF THE BOSNIAN LANGUAGE IN POLAND

Summary/Abstract: In the era of globalization, glocalizational tendencies have started to develop, instigating particular attention to local communities and their identity. The objective of this paper is to examine publications in Poland that describe the contemporary Bosnian language and language policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author presents single publications and analyzes their content in a chronological and detailed way. The interest for the Bosnian language in Poland is increasing, and this paper recommends starting the consideration of Bosnian studies as a separate direction. Books such as Agnieszka Hofman Pianka’s The Sociolinguistic Aspects of the Present Bosnian Language undoubtedly serve as examples of this scholarly attention. Since Bosnian has been standardized independently since the 1990s for many Poles its form is still fluid. That is why Polish researchers strive to analyze it carefully, waiting for changes proposing a way that would allow for studying it as a fully formed language.
