FIGHT IN THE GALICIA REGIONAL SEYM FOR EXPANSION OF STATUS RUSKA (UKRAINIAN) LANGUAGE
Journal Title: Слов’янський збірник - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 18
Abstract
The Austrian Constitution of 1867 provided all peoples of Monarchy with equal rights for the development of their national identity and native language. The native languages were allowed to be used at schools, government, courts. Galician Ukrainians tried to introduce the Ruska language in all spheres of public life. After providing the equality of all nations according to the Constitution the Polish could not put up with this fact. They attempted to dispute in different ways the Ukrainians independence in Galicia being well aware of the fact that the best means of achieving it could be the restriction for the Ruska language in use. Different injunctions of governments and Namisnytsvos aimed at ejecting it from the Galicia public life. But it didn’t seem enough for the Polish and they decided to start discussing this issue of the Ruska language in the Seym to legally prohibit the language. At one of the sittings the Polish diplomats put forward the plan according to which only the Polish language could be the state language, motivating it by the poor development of the Ruska language. The Ruski representatives disputed these Polish statements and basing on true historic facts attempted to prove the rights of the Ruska language for independence. In the system of complex historical and idiographic studies we use historical-and-comparative method which allows us to identify peculiarities of the language development in the definite period and to discover the essential models of linguistic evolution of the Ukrainian society in the conditions of monarchy. The results obtained can be used while compiling textbooks on the History of the language. In spite of the arguments provided by the Ukrainian side in the Seym the Polish language was taken as the state language by the Polish majority.
