O WYWAŻANIU OTWARTYCH DRZWI (W SPRAWIE KSZTAŁTOWANIA SlĘ POWOJENNEGO PÓŁNOCNOKRESOWEGO DIALEKTU KULTURALNEGO). (Polish)

The article examines the body of research that seeks to prove that the post-Second World War “borderland cultural dialect” (the Polish spoken in the area of the former Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic) is an example of specific language continuation, and that it is not a post-war creation deriving from other northern borderland dialects. The author finds this particular focus of Polish language study/research is rather pointless, adding that the undertakings of research in this field also reflect a superficial knowledge of the subject-related literature and/or an oversimplified approach towards the issue. She then presents research and findings which irrefutably support the conclusion that the post-war Polish in the region is a continuation of the former pre-war cultural dialect.
