Is the Podhale dialect spoken in Chicago the same as in Poland? What is it like to conduct research about your own dialect as a student of Teaching Polish as a foreign and second language? Description:
While emigrating, people bring their culture and language to their new place of residence. Is it possible to fully understand the language that has been evolving over the course of several decades in a foreign land?
Given that language and culture are inseparable in this context, one should analyse the dialect by dividing the collected material into categories. Three of them have been applied. They are lexis, word stress, and language register. The research on the Podhale dialect, carried out using those three, is entitled “The State of the Podhale Dialect as the Polish Diaspora Language Used in Chicago by Chosen Members of the First Generation of the Polish diaspora. A Case Study.”
Should you attend the presentation, you will learn about at least one of the many factors that influence the dialect used in the USA and why it is important to consider the medium of language in the context of teaching a foreign language.
