Abstract
Some Linguistic Phenomena in Belarusian Cities during the 2020 Mass Protests in BelarusFollowing the results of the rigged presidential election in Belarus in August 2020, mass protests broke out in the country. These events completely changed the life of the entire country for several months, mainly the life of the large-city inhabitants. One of the characteristics visible during the largest wave of protests were linguistic phenomena. These include, first of all, an increase of the prestige of the Belarusian language in cities, and a positive attitude to the regionalisms and the so-called trasianka as well the introduction of a new toponymy by the protesters. These are the issues that this article is devoted to.O kilku zjawiskach językowych w białoruskich miastach podczas protestów 2020 rokuPo ogłoszeniu wyników wyborów prezydenckich w sierpniu 2020 roku na Białorusi wybuchły masowe protesty, które na kilka miesięcy całkowicie zmieniły życie całego kraju, a przede wszystkim mieszkańców dużych miast. W trakcie trwania najbardziej aktywnej fali protestów można wyodrębnić kilka zjawisk o charakterze językowym. Należy do nich przede wszystkim zwiększenie prestiżu języka białoruskiego w miastach oraz pozytywne nacechowanie wśród mieszkańców miast regionalizmów i tzw. trasianki, a także wprowadzenie przez protestujących nowej toponimiki. Tym właśnie zagadnieniom jest poświęcony niniejszy artykuł.
期刊介绍:
“Slavia Meridionalis” is an interdisciplinary journal publishing papers on literature, culture, history, ethnology and languages of southern Slavic countries, as well as their dynamic interactions with other regions. Each issue contains articles concerning a specific, pre-defined topic, which enables scholars of various disciplines (historians, literature and culture experts, linguists, sociologists, and anthropologists) to present in-depth analyses of their research questions. Our journal publishes papers written by distinguished Polish and foreign scholars, as well as young researchers – papers are published as long as they are of high scientific value. “Slavia Meridionalis” invites articles written in English, German, French, Spanish and Russian, but also in all Slavic languages, which ensures that papers reach various academic circles. Every paper in “Slavia Meridionalis” includes an abstract in Polish and English, as well as keywords. Apart from papers, our journal contains two other sections: reviews of important books in Slavic studies, and biographical notes on authors important for the field. We ensure the highest quality of our papers through a three-stage reviewing process: first, an article is reviewed by the members of the Editorial Board; subsequently, it must pass blind peer review; finally, it must be accepted by the evaluator responsible for a given issue.
