Models of becoming and being bilingual in Polish diaspora in Argentina
The present paper is the effect of field work on Polish-Spanish bilingualism in Polish diaspora in Argentina, conducted in years 2009–2011 in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba, and Misiones. It portrays four models of bilingualism which define the modern Polish diaspora in Argentina, each illustrated with linguistic biographies of selected respondents. The change of the research perspective from a purely linguistic to an interdisciplinary one, has allowed a wide analysis of the phenomenon of bilingualism to be performed, together with its impact on the creation and metamorphosis of identity and cultural valency of four generations of Poles living in Argentina.
