The previous Report was submitted on 10 July 2002, whereas this document covers the years 2002-2006. The information presented herein only in some cases includes data from before 1 January 2002 or concern the circumstances after 31 December 2006. The intention was not to repeat the information already submitted to the Secretary General in July 2002. However, in particular parts and chapters attention was paid to see if this information was valid and to what extent. The 2nd Report focuses on new elements and solutions. Its authors have strived to make the changes that had taken place in Poland during the reporting period its fundamental subject. The sixth part, in which the legal state is described, is an exception. Because of the frequent amendments made in respect of the earlier regulations it was considered purposeful to provide the Secretary General with an updated list of all binding Polish regulations on the rights of national and ethnic minorities. During the work on the 2nd Report particular attention was paid to the recommendations contained in the Resolution ResCMN(2004)10 on the implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities by Poland, adopted on 30 September 2004 at the 898th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies. Efforts were made to formulate the document so as to clearly present what actions had been taken in relation to these recommendations. Also the comments contained in the Opinion on Poland of Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, adopted on 27 November 2003, were taken into account in the 2nd Report. As compared with the situation described in the previous Report, the Act on National and Ethnic Minorities and Regional Language (Journal of Laws No 17, item 141, as amended) adopted on 6 January 2005 is a significant novelty. The present Report will refer several times to this Act, mentioned here in order to explain some terminological issues. According to the provisions of the abovementioned Act, in relation to Poland the term “national minorities” used in the Convention should be understood as “national and ethnic minorities”. After the Act came into effect, the terminology used in other regulations was adjusted accordingly. 5 During work on the Report consultations were carried out, in particular with organizations of national and ethnic minorities, as well as the community which uses regional language. It was not possible to take into account all the comments, since some of them were too detailed or did not fall within the scope of the Report, or were a commentary rather than information. The comments, which could not be included in the body text, are compiled in the Annex. 6 PART I: GENERAL PART 1. Characteristics of the political system, administrative division, geographical location of national and ethnic minorities 1.1 Characteristics of the political system, administrative division The Republic of Poland covers the area of 312 683 km² and its population amounts to 38 157 055 (data published by the Central Statistical Office as of 2006). It borders with the Federal Republic of Germany, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus, the Lithuanian Republic and the Russian Federation. The Republic of Poland is a unitary state with parliamentary and cabinet government system. The Parliament consists of two houses: the lower house – the Sejm (consisting of 460 deputies) and the upper house – the Senate (consisting of 100 senators). The Parliament is elected for 4 years’ term of office in universal, direct election in secret ballot, and in the case of the Sejm also in equal and proportional election. The deputies and senators elected for the present term of office include, inter alia, representatives of national minorities and representatives of the community using the regional language. The present term of office of the Parliament expires in 2009. The President of the Republic of Poland is elected in universal election for 5 years’ term of office. The term of office of the present President expires in 2010. Poland is divided into 16 voivodeships (regions), divided into 314 poviats and 2478 gminas (communes), out of which 65 enjoy the status of a town with the rights of a poviat. The new administrative division of 1 January 1999 took account of, among other things, the national structure. 1.2 Geographical distribution of national and ethnic minorities As already mentioned, the term “national and ethnic minorities” in the Polish law is equivalent to the term “national minorities” as used in the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. Therefore, the provisions of the Framework Convention concern both national and ethnic minorities to the same extent. Differences between definitions 7 of national and ethnic minorities were described in the Act of 6 January 2005 on Act on National and Ethnic Minorities and Regional Language (Journal of Laws No 17, item 141, as amended). According to the Act, the following minorities are recognized as national minorities: Belarusians, Czechs, Lithuanians, Germans, Armenians, Russians, Slovaks, Ukrainians and Jews, and the following as ethnic minorities: the Karaim, the Lemko, the Roma and the Tartars. The largest populations of national and ethnic minorities live in the following voivodeships: Opolskie - 105 5091 Polish citizens (9.91% of the voivodeship’s inhabitants), Podlaskie – 53 807 (4.45% of the voivodeship’s inhabitants), Śląskie – 32 679 (0.69% of the voivodeship’s inhabitants), Warmińsko-Mazurskie - 17 096 (1.20% of the voivodeship’s inhabitants), Dolnośląskie – 8 429 (0.29% of the voivodeship’s inhabitants), Zachodnio-Pomorskie – 5 956 (0.35% of the voivodeship’s inhabitants), Małopolskie – 5 734 (0.18% of the voivodeship’s inhabitants) and Pomorskie – 5 560 (0.26% of the voivodeship’s inhabitants). Furthermore, in Pomorskie Voivodeship there is a community using a regional language (Kashubian). During the 2002 National Population and Housing Census, 52 665 persons declared to use the Kashubian language at home. In Pomorskie Voivodeship there are 52 588 such persons, constituting 2.41% of its population. With respect to this group the Convention provisions are implemented regarding language rights . 2. Status of the international law in the national legislation. Pursuant to Article 87 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland dated 2 April 1997 (Journal of Laws No 78, item 483, as amended), the sources of generally binding law of the Republic of Poland are as follows: the Constitution, statutes, ratified international agreements, regulations, and enactments of local laws issued by the local administrative bodies. Poland respects basic principles of international law, in the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations and Final Act of the Conference for Safety and Co-operation in Europe, and at the same time, is a party to international agreements, e.g. Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1963. The provision of Article 91 of the Constitution stipulates that a ratified international agreement, after its promulgation in the Official Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 1 Unless otherwise stated, all data come from the 2002 National Population and Housing Census. 8 (Dziennik Ustaw), constitutes a part of the domestic legal order and applies directly, unless its application depends on the enactment of a statute. An international agreement ratified upon prior consent granted by statute, takes precedence over statutes, if such an agreement cannot be reconciled with the provisions of such statutes. If, however, an agreement establishing an international organization, ratified by the Republic of Poland, so provides, the

    The Past and Present of the Samogitian Language JUOZAS PABRĖŽA https://doi.org/10.22364/bf.28.1.05 Baltu filoloģija XXVIII (1) 2019 THE PAST AND PRESENT OF THE SAMOGITIAN LANGUAGE Juozas PABRĖŽA Šiauliai University 1. Historical overview An essential question has been repeatedly raised since olden times: is Samogitian a language or a dialect? Before the appearance of standard Lithu- anian, the concept of the Samogitian language prevailed. Quite a few Samogi- tians wrote their works in Samogitian. The 19th c. boasts a particularly large number of such works. In that period the concern and efforts to create standard Lithuanian on the basis of the Samogitian dialect were particularly obvious. The language and the spelling of Dionizas Poška, Silvestras Valiūnas and Simonas Stanevičaus, all of them originally being South Samogitians, were oriented towards their native Dūnininkai dialect. Three of the most prominent Samogitians of the 19th c. — Jurgis Ambraziejus Pabrėža, Simonas Daukantas and Motiejus Valančius — employed the North Samogitian Dounininkai dialect in their writings. The creator of the standard Samogitian language J. A. Pabrėža wrote: “A Samogitian will never agree about the language either with a Lithuanian, a Prussian or a Latvian.” (Subačius 1996: 54) Juozas Čiulda, the author of the most solid grammar of the Samogitian language of the time, written in Polish in 1854 (Trumpi samprotavimai apie žemaičių kalbos gramatikos taisykles — “Brief Reasoning about the Rules of the Samogitian Language”) consistently used the concept of the Samogitian language, and at the end of his book affirms this by stating the following: “These are my speculations about the Samogitian language.

  • East Prussian Marpingen? Marian Apparitions in Comparison
    ZGAE 59 (2015) ARTICELS Swetlana Fink, Dietrichswalde: East Prussian Marpingen? Marian Apparitions in Comparison Just as Marpingen was called the ”German Lourdes” by contemporaries so was Dietrichswalde called the “East Prussian Marpingen”. Since the appearance of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes in 1858 dozens of Marian apparitions throughout Europe have been reported. Against this background, the article compares the two pilgrimages in the western and eastern border territories of Prussia. Methodologically, the treatise refrains from theological argumentation. It is rather committed to studies of social and cultural history with their socio-historic analytical categories like power, class, status, gender. The apparitions in Dietrichswalde are typologically similar to other Marian apparitions in Central Europe in the 19th century. Yet, the differences and specific qualities must not be overlooked. The visionaries of Dietrichswalde belonged to a minority speaking a Polish dialect in Southern Warmia. They were strongly influenced by Polish national piety. During the “Kulturkampf” (culture struggle, culture clash) the Warmian Poles were challenged by the Prussian government to defend their claim on language. Prussian authorities had dissolved Lonk Monastery in West Prussia of former Prussia belonging to a royal Polish part of the country. The visionaries hoped for a restoration of the monastery by the Virgin Mary. Into the present, especially since the time of the Polish millennium in 1966 and after the approbation of the apparitions by the Polish church in 1977, the sanctuary of Dietrichswalde remained an often visited destination of pilgrimage. It had a similar political function for the German church when, in the thirties, Bishop Maximilian Kaller made it a centre of religious demonstrations of Germans and Poles against the oppression by Nazism.

    with the mysticism of the Eurasian 'collectivist' spirit" (p. 54). Considering transcul- ture's desire to transcend politics, and also Epstein's argument for "utopianism after utopia" and "non-totalitarian totality," this particular historical (and ideological) con- text really needs to be addressed. Eliot Borenstein New York University Virgil Krapauskas, Nationalism and Historiography: The Case of Nineteenth Century Lithuanian Historicism. Boulder, CO: East European Monographs, 2000. viii, 234 pp. Distributed by Columbia University Press, New York. Krapauskas' book-length historiographical essay*fills an essential spot in the cor- pus of Lithuanian historical writing. The appearance of ethnic nationalism in East Central Europe in the nineteenth century would change the politieal landscape in the twentieth. Krapauskas traces the appearance of this brand of identity formation in the historical works - professional, joumälistic and dilettante - in Lithuania during the century leading to independence in 1918. Krapauskas' monograph is solid despite persistent problems with intent and the- ory. Thus, he writes, "Historicism mediated between the prejudices of nationalism and the dispassion of historical research," using Maurice Mandelbaum's definition of his- toricism that an event could only be understood "in terms of the place it occupied and the role it played within a process of development." Presumably, Krapauskas' mono- graph should then trace this approach to history in nineteenth century Lithuania. It does not do so, except tangentially. Nationalism and Historiography is about the de- velopment of Lithuanian historical writing as part of the Lithuanian national awaken- ing. Krapauskas' approach, not his subject matter, may be historicist. Nationalism and Historiography is also conceptually tentative.

  • 13 Cassubian
    DEMO13 : Purchase Cassubian from www.A-PDF.com to remove the watermark Gerald Stone 1 Introduction Cassubian (or Kashubian) is today spoken in an elongated band of territory to the west, north-west and south-west of Gdańsk (German Danzig) (see map 13.1). Since the Second World War the entire Cassubian speech area has been situated inside the Polish state. From the official point of view Cassubian is a Polish dialect; but its individuality is such that it is usually regarded by both laymen and linguists as an entity, separate from all other Polish dialects. Genetically, Cassubian is the last surviving link in a chain of dialects which once stretched across what is now north Poland and north Germany, linking Polabian to Polish. The Lechitic group consists of Polabian (west Lechitic), Polish (east Lechitic) and a chain of central Lechitic dialects (including Cassubian). The term Pomeranian is narrower: East Pomeranian is Cassubian; West Pomeranian refers to those extinct varieties of central Lechitic which were once spoken to the west of Cassubian. Toponymical evidence indicates that Cassubian was once spoken as far west as the River Parsęta (German Persante), which flows into the Baltic at Kołobrzeg (German Kolberg). The question has been frequently asked whether Cassubian is not really a separate Slavonic language rather than just a dialect of Polish. If the answer to this is yes, it implies a further question as to the existence of a separate Cassubian nationality. There are no known linguistic criteria for the resolution of such questions, but it is, in any case, clear that the question is not purely linguistic.

  • Articles (.Pdf)
    Foreword By Tanel Kerikmäe, Jean Monnet professor, International University Audentes I am delighted to have a chance to introduce this peer-reviewed collection of articles, another milestone on the road of academic activities of International University Audentes. This interdisciplinary edition with a comparative nature takes a critical look at the problems arising in the context of being member of the European Union, embracing the contributions from various authors with distinct academic and professional background. The current edition includes not only significant academic research (mostly in the field of business, sociology and to some extent in law), but also essays and commentaries (social science in general and political thought). Somewhat different style and aims of various authors benefit the main goal of this set of presentations: to be exciting reading material to as many readers as possible, including not only representatives of academic world but also practitioners and public at large. Half of the papers were initially presented at the 5th annual international Spring Conference of International University Audentes: “Europe’s Role the World and the Future of European Union: enlargement – two years on” (2006). Others present the successful results of our call for papers for this collection among the cooperation partners of the Institute for European Studies and International University Audentes. 5 Despite of eclecticism, one of the common keywords prevailing here is seeking for “identity”. The search for a coherent playground is the joint expectation of different but co-existing worlds: business, politics, social relations and law. I myself, as a legal scholar, have been analyzing the recent ultimate goal of European Union's legal identity – the process of adoption of the constitutional treaty.
