TRADYCJA LOKALNA I REGIONALNA A GLOBALIZACJA
Local and regional tradition versus globalisation

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss the problems connected with identity and tradition in the local and global aspect. The text is concerned with, firstly, how these two spheres interrelate at linguistic, cultural and mental levels in the rural and urban reality nowadays and, secondly, how to protect and promote what is local and regional in the globalised world. The relationship between modern globalisation tendencies and culturallinguistic legacy of a region boils down to the search for an answer to whether globalisation threatens the traditional system of values and the local identity of “little homeland” or rather upholds it and gives it a broader perspective for development as well as points to its didactic and integrative function. This is ensured by noticing a link between the local world and the global one – namely, tradition.
