The life beyond the borders of mother land brings a lot of changes. It changes identities of the individual persons, the way of identification with their own home and constructions of its meanings. In this paper the author deals with analysing the home meanings of Slovak women migrants living in ethnically mixed marriages in London. By analysis of research data gathered from interviews with respondents she outlines how ideas about home have shaped during their migration process. In the traditional sense home is understood as territorial place. Currently, for which migration is a reality, the emerging awareness about new global facts, which influence perceptions of home of migrants uprooted from mother homeland. This awareness is built on de-territorial basis, through the memories and those places that migrants currently do not or cannot inhabit. The aim of her contribution will uncover the essential internal mechanisms which are activated by creating images of home of her respondents and their imaginations connected with coming back to their mother land.

Many Slovaks working in London suffer from emotional insecurity. Most of them choose to find people they can rely on. They create the same - gender alliances with specific rules. These implicit regulations help to maintain groups' integrity. The paper aims to explore two sides of mundane living: 1. spending money and reciprocity; 2. dating among women and men. Those two parts of migrants' lives notably differ for men and women. By the autoress opinion this disparity is caused by the different level of independence of particular individuals resulting from the different social positions of women and men.

This article draws attention to the initial interest for the history and the way of life of the Slovak migrants settled down in the so-called Lower Lands (Great Hungarian Plain) situated on the territory of the present day Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Croatia after the Ottoman Turks had been expelled from the Habsburg Empire (1711). The paper focuses on the works written by Slovak scholars in the 18th and 19th century (Matej Markovic, Andrej Skolka, Samuel Tesedik, Daniel Zajac, Ludovit Haan, Michal Zilinsky, etc.). Authentic reports of the mentioned authors provide invaluable information on the process of adaptation, social convergence, interethnic contacts, mutual cultural influences, linguistic and cultural innovations and many other changes in the life of Slovak migrants that were determined by the different environmental, social, cultural, and ethnic conditions of their new homeland. The dynamics of cultural and linguistic changes has been analysed from the perspective of contemporary theoretical and methodological approaches in the study of ethnic minorities and Slovaks living abroad.
