  • Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna By
    Coming Down From the Mountain: Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna By Erin Victoria Coyne A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair Professor Alan Timberlake Professor Lev Michael Spring 2014 Abstract Coming Down From the Mountain: Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna by Erin Victoria Coyne Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair Despite the recent increased interest in Hutsul life and culture, little attention has been paid to the role of dialect in Hutsul identity and cultural revival. The primary focus of the present dissertation is the current state of the Hutsul dialect, both in terms of social perception and the structural changes resulting from the dominance of the standard language in media and education. Currently very little is known about the contemporary grammatical structure of Hutsul. The present dissertation is the first long-term research project designed to define both key elements of synchronic Hutsul grammar, as well as diachronic change, with focus on variation and convergence in an environment of increasing close sustained contact with standard Ukrainian resulting from both a historically-based sense of ethnic identification, as well as modern economic realities facing the once isolated and self-sufficient Hutsuls. In addition, I will examine the sociolinguistic network lines which allow and impede linguistic assimilation, specifically in the situation of a minority population of high cultural valuation facing external linguistic assimilation pressures stemming from socio-political expediency.

  • (Ruthenian Or Rusyn) Language in Poland Lemkos

The act mentions, in addition to the Lemkos, 9 national minorities: Belorussian, Czech, Lithuanian, German, Armenian, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian, and Jewish; 3 ethnic minorities – Karait, Roma, and Tartar; as well as one regional language – the Kashubian language. The Act lays down, among others, that traditional names in a minority language for localities, physiographic objects and streets may be used as “additional names” alongside geographic names established in the Polish language. To date (as of 1st June 2015), additional names have been introduced in 1204 localities and parts of them located in 57 communes. There were introduced: 27 Belarusian names, 359 German names, 779 Kashubian names, 9 Lemko names, and 30 Lithuanian names. Additional names in minority languages appear on road signs, they are also used on some maps. Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Administration and Digitization of 14th February 2012 on the national register of geographical names, the Surveyor General of Poland shall maintain the database of the National Register of Geographical Names. In the Register, among others, officially adopted names in minority languages shall be listed.

  • Lemkos and Their Religious Culture in Western Areas of Poland
    Folia geographica 15 Prešov 2010 LEMKOS AND THEIR RELIGIOUS CULTURE IN WESTERN AREAS OF POLAND Marek J. BATTEK1 Joanna SZCZEPANKIEWICZ-BATTEK2 Abstract: After finishing 2nd Word War in Lower Silesia territory happened the total exchange of the population. On Germans place, both Catholics and Protestants (Jews were exterminated by Nazis earlier), the Polish population, mostly catholic, flowed in, and also Jews group remaining from the Holocaust. After two years arrived numerous group Lemkos (Rusins). Traditionally Lemkos are the greek-catholic confession, however the part of them before the 2nd world war passed on Orthodox Church. Settlement of this ethnic group on the west of the Poland, where the confessor of churches orthodox and greek-catholic few so far, altered considerably religious relations in this region. Lemkos is the population living the south-east Poland and east Slovakia (in Slovakia called Rusins). After 2nd world war they together with Ukrainians were the victims of very brutal displacements (Action code name “Vistula”). This had on the aim cutting off the subsidiaries for underground army fighting about the independence of Ukraine. From among 50 thousands Lemkos the majority was estate in years 1947–1948 in west part of Poland, mostly between Legnica and Zielona Góra. This population was in majority poor and the faintly educated. After displacement many Lemkos changes confessions to orthodox church. Now in Lower Silesia live about 30 thousands Lemkos, fifty-fifty orthodox and greek-catholics. After political changes in 1989 part of Lemkos returned to the motherland, in Beskidy Mts. The largest centres of the Lemkos culture in Lower Silesia are Legnica and Przemków.

  • The Case of Lemkos (Łemkowie)

Katowice : Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego. Marek Dziewierski SPACE AS THE VALUE FELT TO BE ACCEPTED: THE CASE OF LEMKOS (ŁEMKOWIE) I devote this short sociological essay to the ethnic group called Lemkos (Łemkowie). The unusual history of this group have determined the complex and heterogeneous way of perceiving evaluating space. Until 1947 Lemkos, as a close uniform group, has inhabited the south­ ern-eastern areas of Poland. The traditional territory of Lemkos comprised the area of Beskid Niski and the western outskirts of the Bieszczady Mountains. In that way, the settlements of Lemkos spread from the Oslawa River in the east (surroundings of the village Komańcza) to the Poprad River in the west (Krynica vicinity). Therefore they created the furthest to the west cultural enclave connected with Ruthenian-Byzantine tradition. Numerical force of the group was estimated to equal about 145 thousand.1 Originally, these Carpathian uplanders called themselves Ruthenians. How­ ever, during the long and complex process of cultural integration, the notions of Ruthenian, Ruthenian nationality and Ruthenian language had become in that region almost identical with all that what was Ukrainian. The names Łemko, Łemkowie appeared in the common language in mid-19th century and were associated with separatist context.

  • Literature in Carpathian Rus´ Although Carpatho-Rusyn Literature Dates Back to the Sixteenth Century, It Emerged As A
    Foreword: Literature in Carpathian Rus´ Although Carpatho-Rusyn literature dates back to the sixteenth century, it emerged as a distinct creative movement only after the Revolutions of 1989 in Eastern Europe, which sparked a Rusyn cultural renaissance and permitted the revival of Carpatho-Rusyn identity in the ancestral Rusyn homeland. Situated at a crossroads of states, cultures, and languages, Rusyn literature has sur- vived a history of political oppression, linguistic disorder, and cultural deni- gration. Today a renewed Rusyn literature, written in newly codified linguis- tic variants, plays a decisive role in shaping the national identity of the state- less Carpatho-Rusyn people. The Carpatho-Rusyn homeland straddles the borders of five countries— Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. For much of the twentieth century, however, Rusyns did not officially exist in their homeland, and even today they are still struggling for recognition in Ukraine, where the Transcar- pathian oblast is home to three-quarters of the approximately one million European Rusyns. This came about because after World War II, Soviet-domi- nated governments stubbornly denied the existence of any such ethnicity or language and instead imposed Ukrainian language and culture on Rusyns— not just in Ukraine, but in Poland and Czechoslovakia as well. Only the for- mer Yugoslavia recognized a small population of 20,000 Rusyns, descendents of immigrants from the Carpathian region to the Vojvodina, as an official mi- nority distinct from Ukrainians. By the late twentieth century, Rusyn identity elsewhere had seemingly evaporated or assimilated to more prominent neigh- boring ethnic groups. Shortly before the fall of Communist rule, however, it became clear that Rusyns had not disappeared, and since that time a Rusyn renaissance has been underway.

  • Rusyn: a New–Old Language In-Between Nations and States Michael Moser
    6 Rusyn: A New–Old Language In-between Nations and States Michael Moser Constructing identities across historical borders Wherever modern Rusyn activists have mapped their territory, Rusyn and Ukrainian national and linguistic identities are still competing with each other: some regard Rusyns as a separate fourth East Slavic people and Rusyn as a separate language, whilst others maintain that Rusyns are a branch of the Ukrainian people, Rusyn idioms are local variants of Ukrainian, and Modern Standard Ukrainian is a perfectly appropriate standard language for all Rusyns/ Ukrainians.1 In fact, up to the late twentieth century virtually nobody asserted that pre- cisely those groups that are today claimed to be Rusyn formed a separate people (that is the Rusyns of Ukraine’s Transcarpathia Oblast, northeastern Slovakia, one village in northern Hungary, some villages in the Maramures¸ region of Romania, and some in the Ba ! ka-Srijem region of Croatia and Serbia, all of them historically belonging to the Kingdom of Hungary; apart from them, also the ‘Lemkos’ of southeastern Poland). Historically, many more Slavs who were related to the legacy of Medieval (Kyivan) Rus' and its ‘Rus' faith’ (Orthodoxy or, later, Greek Catholicism) were called ‘Rusyns’ (usually rendered as ‘Ruthenians’ in English) (see Plokhy 2006). These included not only all Ruthenians/Rusyns of the Kingdom of Galicia and the Crownland of Bukovyna, at least up to the turn of the twentieth century, but also all those Ruthenians of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania who were renamed ‘Little Russians’ (malorossy) only after being integrated into the Russian Empire, where they had to be distinguished from the Muscovites or ‘Great Russians’ (velikorossy).

  • Cultural Expressions and European Identities
    CULTURE OF MINORITIES – WAY TOWARDS EUROPEANIZATION IN POLISH HEIS (THE CASE OF MUSICOLOGY) BY WOJCIECH M. MARCHWICA JAGELLONIAN UNIVERSITY, KRAKÓW The Polish-Jewish coexistence is one of the essential elements of Polish cultural variety since late mediaeval times. The Holocaust smashed out almost everything connected to the Jewish (and other minorities) existence in our country. The communist regime has not been friendly to minorities either. According to a communist ideology – despite the official “internationalization” – in years 1949- 89 a great effort was made to smash out everything what concerns Jewish existence in our country. The same policy concerned other minorities like: German, Silesian, Kashubian, Ukrainian, Hutsuls or Gypsies. The official propaganda proclaimed great come-back to old- Polish lands avoiding any existence of minorities; therefore any regular research could not be undertaken. At the war's end, Poland's borders were moved west, pushing the east border to the Curzon line. The west border was moved to the Odra-Nysa line. The new Poland became 20% smaller by 77,500 square kilometres. The shift forced millions of people to move: Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, and Jews, but the percentage of minorities’ declines officially for 2-3%. The only officially recognized minority (with guaranteed 2 parliament members) for decades were only Germans. Such status has been that time never offered to Silesians (officially named Poles – despite their will), Hutsuls and Ukrainians and especially Jews. The year 1968 brought an anti-Zionist or rather anti-Jewish campaign, initially directed against Władysław Gomułka regime and his supporters, led to the emigration of much of Poland's remaining Jewish population but also Poles, who were “incompatible” according to communist government.
