By declaring a language as their native language or mother tongue, people carry out an act of identification with this language, and via this language with people and ideas to whom they assign the same language. This comes to the fore especially when external conflicts are transferred to the linguistic constellation. This is the case in Ukraine, where three languages / codes are at the disposal: the state’s official language Ukrainian, but also Russian, and “suržyk”, a widespread form of speech containing both Ukrainian and Russian elements. Based on a survey from 2014 in the central regions of Ukraine, this article examines which of these languages / codes are chosen as a native language and how this choice is connected with more objective aspects of language use. By means of generative additive mixed-effects modeling, it will be shown how this choice varies both socially and geographically.

The author considers the phenomenon of mannerisms and (a similar phenomenon) the snobbery of language behavior in social communication. The analysis of empirical material is based on a model of linguistic communication that includes four configured categories: meaning, form/structure, pragmatic function and context. The author treats the mannerisms of language as a preference of the sentence form and structure, thereby causing some pragmatic effects. The author distinguishes several communicative and non-communicative functions of language mannerisms: associative (especially the function of positive self-presentation of the sender), pragmatic (persuasive), and ethological (aesthetic and hedonic experience).
