Dokąd zmierza polszczyzna?
Journal Title: Rozprawy Komisji Językowej Łódzkiego Towarzystwa Naukowego - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The article presents the results of the newest research of the contemporary Polish language. Combined with the author’s own findings, it summarizes the changes in the newest Polish language. The author emphasizes the new emerging research fields: the functioning of the Polish language outside Poland, Polish as a foreign/second language, and teaching Polish as a foreign language. In her presentation of how the extralinguistic reality influences the language, she mainly focuses on the vocabulary changes. Among these changes there are the rapid increase in the number of neologisms and neosemantisms. These new lexical items often perform the expressive function which is when they become the source of language brutalization and vulgarization. This process is correlated with the simplification of social relations. The author points out to the reassesment of the vocabulary formerly associated only with the colloquial language, the sociolects or the dialects. In her opinion, the observed increase of the number of loanwords from English (especially American English) – although worrying – seems to be a temporary trend, which the Polish language will overcome as it did in the past. However, she notices the danger in the shifts in the stylistic system.
