Language as a tool of social diferentiation. Notes on language situation in Stonava, Teschen Silesia
2004
Abstract
A contemplation about language as a product of social diverzification has led us to the statement that the residents of Stonava, villiage at the region of Teschen Silesia, speaking Czech, Polish or with a dialect in various types of social contexts relate themselves to various specific ideological anchoring of culture which they perceive as their referential framework. The contemplation about language as an index of social diverzification points to the existence of a number of more or les autonomous, interrelated and isolated groups in Stonava.
