Pejzaż językowy Polski współczesnej: powrót do przyszłości?

Linguistic landscape of contemporary Poland: back to the future? The situation of the Polish language, approached from the perspective of the today’s language policy, is stable. New phenomena include emancipation of dialects (particularly Silesian ones) and large-scale appearance of languages used by immigrants from the East: Ukrainian, Russian, and Belarusian (including their vernaculars: Surzhyk, Prostorieche, Trasianka). Perhaps the Polish language as realised by such immigrants, that is similar to old varieties of Borderland Polish, will become an integral part of the linguistic landscape of Poland.
