Dennis Scheller-Boltz, a well-known and acknowledged German slavist, carries out an extensive and in-depth discussion of the monograph written by Barbara Alicja Jańczak entitled Deutsch-polnische Familien: Ihre Sprachen und Familienkulturen in Deutschland und in Polen [German-Polish families: languages and family cultures in Germany and Poland]. The reviewer rightly emphasizes the novelty, relevance and accuracy of the work as well as the fact that it takes a wide range of aspects into consideration, including not only linguistic but also, among others, sociological and cultural aspects of the examined matter. The reviewer draws our attention to the fact that the conclusions the author of the monograph reaches are based on reliable and up to date sources of information such as Główny Urząd Statystyczny [the Central Statistical Office of Poland] and Statistisches Bundesamt Deutschland [The Federal Statistical Office of Germany]. The form and the organization of the monograph, which in a transparent manner – using a well-constructed, lucid tables and figures – provides the reader with the great abundance of information, are, according to the reviewer, highly commendable.
