Abstract

: This article discusses the spread of the Polish language among the Jewish population in the 1930s. Its source is the daily press, which was one of the most important institutions of interwar Jewish culture in the Polish language and one of the key institutions in which Polish served as a means of written communication in Jewish life. The press can be regarded as one of the principle sources indicating the main modern areas of Jewish communication in Polish and documenting the expansion of this communication from the public to the private sphere, from the exchange of opinions on social, political, and artistic problems to the discussion of everyday issues, family life, or even the most intimate subjects. The Polish-Jewish popular daily press created opportunities for speaking about everyday life through journalistic and literary genres dealing with topics related to family, marriage, sex, health, fashion, cooking, housekeeping, raising children, schools and universities, sport, entertainment, etiquette. The appearance of Polish-Jewish sensationalist newspapers at the beginning of the 1930s signaled the emergence of new audiences using the Polish language. The interwar vernacularization of the Polish language manifests itself in its growing instrumental value and change in its symbolic signification. The increasingly widespread use of Polish was accompanied by the weakening of its role as a symbol of integration with Polishness and Polish culture. process

：本文讨论了20世纪30年代波兰语在犹太人中的传播。它的来源是日报，它是波兰语中两次世界大战之间犹太文化最重要的机构之一，也是波兰语作为犹太人生活中书面交流手段的关键机构之一。媒体可以被视为用波兰语展示犹太人现代交流主要领域的主要来源之一，并记录了这种交流从公共领域到私人领域的扩展，从对社会、政治和艺术问题的意见交流到对日常问题、家庭生活甚至最亲密主题的讨论。波兰犹太大众日报通过涉及家庭、婚姻、性、健康、时尚、烹饪、家政、养育孩子、学校和大学、体育、娱乐、礼仪等主题的新闻和文学类型，创造了谈论日常生活的机会。20世纪30年代初，波兰犹太耸人听闻的报纸的出现标志着使用波兰语的新受众的出现。波兰语在两次世界大战之间的本土化表现为其日益增长的工具价值和象征意义的变化。波兰语的使用越来越广泛，同时波兰语作为融合波兰语和波兰文化的象征的作用也在减弱。过程
