Beskrivning

The book scrutinizes the language of Polish-origin Highlanders living in CarpathianBukovina. Krasowska has personal, direct knowledge of the life, culture, customs, andbehaviors of the group. Among many interesting conclusions she draws from the analysis,she considers how the influence of different languages spoken in Bukovina affectsthe vocabulary from specific thematic spheres, for example the religious vocabulary, vocabularyconnected to logging and terrain, popular foods, clothing, farming and animalbreeding, or official (state) vocabulary. A significant part of the Highlanders’ vocabularyare “carpathisms,” namely words used in different regions of the Carpathians.
