Regiolekt śląski i język polski wśród użytkowników śląskiego
Silesian regiolect and Polish language among users of Silesian

Summary/Abstract: The study investigates both the (declared) usage of Polish, Silesian and German among autochthon Silesians who regularly utilize Silesian as well as the question of their identity. The study is based on a survey of 2,000 respondents in the Upper Silesian industrial region and around Opole. The survey also asks respondents for their expectations regarding the future development of Silesian. State-of-the-art statistical procedures (conditional inference trees – CTrees) are used to correlate the findings on the use of linguistic codes, on identity and on preferences with the respondents’ pertinent sociobiographical characteristics.
