Piętno a wartość języka. Sytuacja gwar małopolskich na Bukowinie rumuńskiej
Stigma versus the Value of a Language: The Situation of Polish Dialects in Romanian Bukovina

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the current situation of users of local dialects of the Lesser Poland regional dialect of Polish (gwary małopolskie) in Romanian Bukovina. Owing to demographic processes as well as social and cultural conditions, their number continues to fall. The latest research indicates that in the case of several villages with the Polish population it is difficult to talk about local dialects anymore: they have been substituted with what can be more adequately referred to as “a group of idiolects”.
