Aviation Dutch? Próba definicji

100%
EN
At present, air travel is on the increase. People spend more and more time at airports and on airplanes, which have become one of the fastest and most important means of transport in today’s world. Although English is the language of aviation, one can communicate at airports and on planes also in (almost) every other language. In this paper attention is directed to the Dutch language of aviation, which has not yet been the subject of linguistic research. Is it possible to speak, as it is the case with Aviation English, about Aviation Dutch? The main issue raised in this paper is an attempt to give a definition of Aviation Dutch and to present its specific characteristics that distinguish it from other languages for special purposes.

“Emergency equipment checked. Cabin sweep done. Mobile phones off mode.” is a standard routine used by the cabin crew of one of the Polish airlines after checking the emergency equipment before each rotation. But what is cabin sweep and why isn't the Polish equivalent of the word used? At first glance, it is clear that communication between cabin crew members is quite specific and governed by its rights. The paper, which will be based on ethnographic studies (participating observation) carried out on board of Enter Air aircrafts between June 2017 and October 2019, will present selected aspects of specialised communication between flight attendants. However, the main focus will be on the terminology used by cabin crew in conversations with each other. One of the hallmarks is the use of many English words. This should not come as a surprise, because English is the language of aviation. The terminology used by cabin crew is intended to transfer as much content in as less words as possible. Also numerous abbreviations and neologisms will be presented as well as those terms that are successfully used in everyday situations, but gain a whole new meaning in the language of cabin crew members.
