Specyfika wybranych form grzecznościowych na tle normy ogólnopolskiej w pisanej odmianie polszczyzny odziedziczonej na Ukrainie (na materiale polskojęzycznej „Gazety Polskiej Bukowiny”)
Specification of selected honorifics in relation to the general Polish standard in the written Polish as a heritage language in Ukraine (using the material of the Polish-language Gazeta Polska Bukowiny periodical)

Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author analyses honorifics in relation to the codified general Polish norm in terms of the modes of addressing people, congratulating and well-wishing, as well as the use of the words “pan/pani” (sir/ma’am) in front of anthroponyms in non-addressable structures of information texts, on the basis of the texts of the Gazeta Polska Bukowiny periodical which represent the written version of Polish as a heritage language in Ukraine. The author reveals the reasons for the persistence of those forms among the small linguistic community: instances of interference from East Slavic languages; influence of the general Polish usage; the traditions of specific structures in those areas; as well as a series of extra-linguistic factors, e.g. the intention to express respect towards a recipient, warming relations with them, the efficiency of linguistic expressions, and, finally, the acceptability of specific etiquette units within a community.
