The paper examines the activity of E. Jona in the field of language culture. The analysis is concentrated on two fields, firstly, on the practical problems of language culture, secondly, on the evaluation of the complete language situation from the thirties up to the eighties of the 20th century. The practical sphere is covered especially by those papers which were published in the periodical Slovenska rec. Some older papers are not relevant to current language situation, but a great number of them solve questions, which are problematic even nowadays. Very important is the opinion of E. Jona for the question on language correctness or incorrectness. He was persuaded that there is no sufficient only linguists opinion; but very important is a contemporary language usage and also dialects, which are to be taken into the consideration. Further, the paper reflects the views of E. Jona for the complicated language situation after 1945. He believed that forced tendencies to convergences and divergences in the past caused damage to the nation and to the language as well. Several of these problems are topical also nowadays.

Vershina was founded in 1910 by Polish voluntary settlers from Lesser Poland. There are three main periods in Vershina's history, with different social conditions affecting the language choice. During its first three decades the settlers preserved Polish language (a mixture of dialects from their regions of origin), traditions and the Roman Catholic religion. The effects of the Revolution of 1917 and political changes came to a village in taiga only in the late 1930's. Vershina lost its former ethnocultural homogeneity because of Russian and Buryat workers in the local kolkhoz. It was the beginning of the increasing role of Russian language in the village's life. The process of intensive sovietization as well as heterogeneous marriages affected language choice in many domains. In the late 1980's the inhabitants of Vershina regained their minority rights: they can pray in their own church, learn Polish in a local school and found cultural organisations. However, during the years of communism, the language situation changed irreversibly. There are some factors which may hinder the increasing domination of Russian language, such as activity of local Polish organisation, Roman Catholic parish and folk group 'Jazhumbek' but their influence is limited.
