With respect to adaptation studies, contemporary Japanese popular culture signifies a unique case, as different types of media (be those textual, auditive, visual or audio-visual) are tightly intertwined through the “recycling” of successful characters and stories. As a result, a neatly woven net of intermedial adaptations has been formed - the core of this complex system being the manga-anime-live-action film “adaptational triangle.” On the one hand, the paper addresses the interplay of the various factors by which the very existence of this network is made possible, such as the distinctive cultural attitude to “originality,” the structure of the comics, animation and film industries, and finally, the role of fictitious genealogies of both traditional and contemporary media in the negotiation of national identity. On the other hand, the essay also considers some of the most significant thematic, narrative, and stylistic effects this close interconnectedness has on the individual medium. Special attention is being paid to the nascent trend of merging the adaptive medium with that of the original story (viewing adaptation as integration), apparent in contemporary manga-based live- action comedies, as the extreme case of intermedial adaptation. That is, when the aim of the adaptational process is no longer the transposition of the story but the adaptation (i.e. the incorporation) of the medium itself- elevating certain medium-specific devices into transmedial phenomena.

The article stems from the author’s interest in the pre-war Polish press in Latvia. It is based on press materials, whose authors – for different different reasons – used language in their opinion typical for the spoken Polish dialect used by the lower classes. The collected data show the features that are treated by the Polish minority in Latvia as the most typical or most noticeable in their speech. The texts where the use of regional variation of Polish was conscious and purposeful exhibit a range of distinctive features at all levels of language. These features hardly ever occur in the press articles that have been written in standard Polish. The analysis of the texts provided a starting point for the present study. The purpose of the research was to determine the attitudes of writers and editors towards the local Polish dialect, its role in shaping the national identity and its significance in the lives of its users.

Проблематика данной статьи обусловлена нашим интересом к польской прессе, издаваемой в Латвии в период 1922–1940 годов. Базой для исследования послужил языковой материал, извлеченный из газетных статей (фельетонов), авторы которых по разным причинам употребляют язык, наиболее, по их мнению, соответствующий разговорной речи общественных низов. Анализ исследуемого материала показал, какие языковые явления поляки в Латвии считали самыми характерными и отличительными чертами своего языка, поскольку фельетоны, в которых нагромождение диалектных речевых особенностей было преднамеренным, содержат большое количество примеров таких явлений на всех уровнях языка, чего не замечено в остальном, гораздо более обширным, газетном материале. В статье преследовалась и другая цель – определить отношение создателей и редакторов польской прессы в Латвии к «здешнему» польскому говору, роль последнего в качестве исключительно важного компонента национального самосознания и место его в системе духовных ценностей носителей польской речи в Латвии.
