Jerzy Bartmiński Iwona Bielińska-Gardziel, Fifteen years of the EUROJOS project 297 From the Editors The journal Etnolingwistyka. Problemy języka i kultury [Ethnolinguistics. Problems of language and culture] has been appearing on an annual basis since 1998, published by the Faculty of Humanities, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS) in Lublin, Poland. The journal’s founder Jerzy Bart- miński, in his Introduction to vol. 1, defined its scope in broad terms, in alignment with the idea of ethnolinguistics as a trend in contemporary language sciences that is concerned with “language in its complex relation- ship to culture. The relationship thus embraces the language system as an institutionalised social product in the whole richness of its varieties, variants, and styles, as well as in the diversity of its uses, in relation to culture as a patterning of human endeavours, along with the models and values inherent therein, as well as to culture as a product of these activities” (p. 5). The journal was conceived of in connection with the work on the Dictio- nary of Folk Stereotypes and Symbols, with a view to discussing the specific issues of cultural and cognitive linguistics, especially those connected with the linguistic worldview, linguistic stereotypes, and value terms. It has seen the publication of fieldwork data and preliminary analyses to be then in- cluded in the dictionary, extending its scope in time onto national stereotypes and nationwide axiological concepts, such as EQUALITY, TOLERANCE, US/THEM opposition, etc. Recently an international committed circle of authors has emerged associ- ated with the journal, working within the open framework of the EUROJOS project, especially on comparative analyses of linguistic worldview and the semantics of value terms (cultural concepts). This circle of authors has engaged in collaboration with Western ethnolinguistics, especially in English-speaking countries. In 2004, Etnolingwistyka became the organ of the Ethnolinguistic Commission of the International Slavic Committee, as well as of the Ethnolinguistic Section of the Linguistic Committee, Polish Academy of Sciences. In twenty-eight volumes of the journal that appeared in the years 1988–2016, 161 articles out of the total of 365 (ca. 44%) have been au- 8 From the Editors thored by scholars from abroad, mainly from Russia. Indeed, it is fair to say that Etnolingwistyka has become an important platform of Polish-Russian scholarly cooperation, especially between the Lublin- and Moscow-based ethnolinguistic teams (the latter being supervised by Nikita and Svetlana Tol- stoy). Russian is also the most common language of publication in the journal besides Polish. All articles, however, are accompanied by English abstracts. Volume 28 of the journal is the first one to also appear in English, thanks to financial support from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the National Programme for the Development of Humanities (module 3.b “Internationalisation”), project titled “English edition of the journal Etnoling- wistyka. Problemy języka i kultury in electronic form” (no. 3bH 15 0204 83). The English translations have been produced by Rafał Augustyn, Klaudia Dolecka, Agnieszka Gicala, Adam Głaz, and Agnieszka Mierzwińska-Hajnos. The team worked under the supervision of Adam Głaz, who also copy-edited the entire volume.
