Regijōnalnŏ roztōmajtość ślōnskij gŏdki a jeji kodyfikacyjŏ – spoziyrani refleksyjnych używŏczōw w kōntekście jynzykowyj rewitalizacyje

Abstract

This article describes language ideologies that concern the codification of Silesian as one potential tool for its revitalisation. Among the greatest challenges in this context is the multiplicity of living local varieties. On the basis of in-depth interviews with so-called reflective users, i.e. activists, writers, local community leaders etc. from all sub-regions of Upper Silesia, the broad spectrum of beliefs that are present in the Silesian community around this issue is shown.
