The diversity of the contemporary Silesian dialects corresponds to the division adopted by K. Nitsch (1960), apart from the non-existence of the Lach dialects that are extinct in this area. However, the dialects present in Silesia have become richer by the Southern Borderlands dialect, which is used mainly by repatriates living in villages (and small towns) in the area stretching from the Katowice to the Wrocław regions. The linguistic analysis of a given dialect is still determined based on the inhabitants’ speech, that is relying on the usage and function criterion. This opens the prospect of studying language by means of the paradigms applying the usage-based models of language, such as cognitivism, sociolinguistics, and dialectology. The most commonly used variation of Polish is mixed, where the dialect intertwines with the general language and which is characterised by stylistic diversity (e.g. the colloquial and scientific styles); hence, the application of language usage-based paradigms, which enable the presentation of language in sociocultural processes (e.g. dromology, mediamorphosis, and glocalisation, i.e. globalisation and localisation combined) is important in the research of this kind. When determining dialectal characteristics, E. Rosch’s prototype theory is also useful, as it permits the detection of canonical (prototypical) features of a given dialect, usually phonetic ones, which allow its distinction from another dialect by criteria. This is because the traditional division of Silesian dialects has undergone certain transformations concerned with a shift of Silesian dialects’ influences with respect to Lesser and Greater Polish ones, expansion of the mixed area at the borderline between dialects, establishment of mixed Polish, and reduction of the number of people speaking a dialect only. The diversity of dialects as a prestigious variation of Polish in Silesia attests to the abundance of regional experiences of the lands and requires a further holistic research of the language transformations occurring in Silesia.

With the appearance of the social networking service, Facebook, the notion of 'liking' has gained an additional meaning. The aim of this article is to discuss the phenomenon of neosemantisation of the verb 'lubić' ('like') in the Polish version of the website. The author distinguishes between three Facebook-specific meanings of this verb: 'to be fond of something', 'to be related to something' and 'to recommend something'. The discussion of the phenomenon of neosemantisation of the verb 'lubić' is accompanied by an analysis of its occurrences through the example of Facebook-related elements on websites of universities and colleges in Warsaw.

Bunjevci from the region of Bačka are a deeply divided community: some of them believe they are a separate ethnic group with a distinct language, while others claim they are a subgroup of Croats and speak a Croatian dialect. The paper explains historical roots of the group’s divided ethnic consciousness and explores its consequences on the construction of their contemporary identities. First, the formation of Bunjevci as a pre-modern ethnicity in Dalmatia is discussed. It is followed by an account of historical experiences of those of them who later migrated to the Danube region in Hungary. The paper is concluded by a comparison between the Bunjevci’s two models of language regulation and politics of memory.

A oltre 30 anni dalla pubblicazione dei 35 tratti dell’italiano dell’uso medio (IUM), pur in presenza di successive osservazioni e puntualizzazioni, si può dire che questa etichetta linguistica sia ormai condivisa da tutti gli studiosi. Tuttavia la scuola non sembra essere stata particolarmente ricettiva delle variazioni nella distanza tra la norma e l’uso e continua a imporre una varietà di italiano che ormai può essere considerata a sé stante. Purtroppo mancano studi che permettano di valutare la discrepanza tra norma interiorizzata e comportamento linguistico negli italofoni: poco sappiamo di quali tratti dell’IUM passano del tutto inosservati, quali sono rilevati ma ritenuti accettabili e quali ancora censurati. Questo contributo rende conto di alcuni sondaggi su parlanti italiani diversificati per provenienza geografica, età, sesso e livello di istruzione, chiamati a esprimere un giudizio su testi giornalistici in cui era presente o è stata inserita ad arte una selezione di tratti dell’IUM. I sondaggi non possono ovviamente dirsi esaustivi e rappresentano solo le prime fasi di uno studio più ampio. Ciononostante, oltre a testare le modalità di somministrazione dei questionari e di selezione degli informanti stessi, i risultati evidenziano la forte influenza della norma interiorizzata sui giudizi, influenza che non si limita ai tratti dell’IUM considerati ma che investe tutta una serie di altri fenomeni che rientrano nell’italiano scolastico e che contribuiscono a formare il modello di riferimento vigente presso la comunità italofona.

Over 30 years after the publication of the list of 35 traits characterising the “medium [i.e., between formal and informal] register of Italian”, this sociolinguistic label is commonly accepted, although many researchers have improved and modified its description. However, teachers in Italian schools have not proven to be particularly sensitive to the widening gap between norm and usage and still teach a variety of Italian that is not found anywhere else but in the classroom. Unfortunately, insufficient research has been conducted so far on the differences between the norms that Italian native speakers learn in their school years and their actual linguistic behaviour. Which traits of the IUM (italiano dell’uso medio) pass unnoticed, which are detected but considered acceptable, and which are classified as mistakes are still up for debate. This study illustrates a survey involving native speakers of Italian coming from different geographical areas and social backgrounds who were invited to comment on the language used in newspaper articles containing IUM traits. Of course, this survey is part of a larger research project and is not considered to be exhaustive; however, it proves useful in testing the most effective procedures to administer the questionnaires and select the informants. In addition, preliminary results show a strong influence of the linguistic norm taught at school on the assessment not only of IUM traits but also of a range of other traits contributing to the linguistic reference model used by Italian native speakers.
