This unity in diversity is rendered in the new books series in two ways: through the interdisci- plinary methodological apparatus of anthropological linguistics, contact linguistics, sociolinguistics, cognitive grammar, communicology, and studies of culture; and through the diversity of the corpus to be analyzed (literary texts, runic texts, sign languages or visual images). The pres- ent volume is composed of papers, many of which were presented in Wrocław at the conference “Languages in Contact 2012.” The volume brings new and challenging insights into the studies of the languages in contact phenomenon: an analysis of the distribution of diagnostic fea- tures in the Atlantic English-lexified Creoles and across English-lexified contact languages (Andrei A. Avram); a critical reinterpretation of vari- ous models for the development of Slavic languages (Paul M. Barford); a fourfold perspective on the societal mission of the “Official English” movement within the fundamental tenets of American language ideol- ogy (Sándor Czeglédi); a comparative interlingual lexical contact analy- sis between Standard Hungarian and English (Anglo-)Hungarian (Éva Forintos and Szilárd Szentgyörgyi); a plea for using experimentally de- veloped semantic networks of word associations as possibilities to study language mechanisms (Izabela Gatkowska); an analysis of the directions of blend elaboration as a cultural means of creative concept change (Ag- nieszka Gicala); the importance of communicology in the comparative study of the East and West cultural dimensions of human perception (Richard L. Lanigan); an anthropolinguistic approach to the early ru- nic texts in the British Isles (Jacek Mianowski); a critical insight into the sociolinguistic conditions of the usefulness of the English language as shaping a given multilingual setting (Agnieszka Stępkowska); an in- terdisciplinary approach to women’s clothing as a discursive mechanism of constructing the female body as gendered (Andrea F. Szabó); a re- interpretation of the concept “Language Adaptive Operators” within the context of language adaptive strategies in human communication (Wiesław Szałaj); a critical insight into the glottogonic theories of lan- guage and a plea for framing gestures as a substantial component of early human communication (Agnieszka Szczepaniak); a comparative cognitive grammar approach to Polish Sign Language (PJM) sign order and Polish word order (Anna Ścibior--Gajewska); and an analysis of “bound semantic loan” as an overlapping concept between loan transla- tion and semantic loan (Alicja Witalisz). Camelia M. Cmeciu (University of Bucharest, Romania) Andrei A. Avram University of Bucharest, Romania Diagnostic Features of English Creoles: A Follow-up Abstract. The present paper is to be considered as a follow-up to Baker and Hu- ber’s (2001) study of the diagnostic features of English-lexified contact languages. It looks into the distribution of the above mentioned features in five Atlantic variet- ies which have rather rarely been taken into consideration in previous comparative work on English-lexified Creoles, namely: Antiguan, Bahamian, Trinbagonian, Vincentian and Virgin Islands English Creole. The research findings are thorough- ly discussed from the perspective of the characteristics of the Atlantic English- -lexified Creoles as well as the historical relations between them. The distribution of several diagnostic features is shown here in an attempt to cut across the Western Caribbean – Eastern Caribbean divide. The evidence from the five Creoles that are examined shows that seven diagnostic features, which were previously classified as Atlantic, have, in fact, a world-wide distribution. Keywords: diagnostic features, English-lexified Creoles, Atlantic features, world- -wide features. Introduction The feature approach has proved to be a useful instrument in investigat- ing the history of English-lexified Pidgins and Creoles and in assessing the genetic relationships among them. The present paper is a follow-up to Baker and Huber (2001), looking at five Atlantic English-lexified Cre- oles: Trinbagonian,1 Vincentian, Antiguan, Virgin Islands English Creole and Bahamian.

  • The Ambiguities of Soviet “Piedmonts”: Soviet Borderland
    THE AMBIGUITIES OF SOVIET “PIEDMONTS”: SOVIET BORDERLAND POLICIES IN THE UKRAINIAN SSR AND THE MOLDOVAN ASSR, 1922-1934 Alexandr Voronovici A DISSERTATION in History Presented to the Faculties of the Central European University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Budapest, Hungary 2016 CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: Professor Alexei Miller ii Copyright in the text of this dissertation rests with the author.

CEU eTD Collection iii Abstract The dissertation analyzes Soviet borderland policies in the Ukrainian SSR and the Moldovan ASSR in the 1920s and early 1930s. Adopting the situational approach, I explore the Soviet struggle for borderlands on the Western border and the role of the cross-border cultural ties in it. The dissertation argues that the negotiations, different interpretations and the interplay between actors on both sides of the Soviet Western border influenced and framed the evolution of borderland policies in the Ukrainian SSR and the Moldovan ASSR in 1920s. Although, the Soviet Union was a centralized state with a disciplined party, there was still considerable space for conflicting interpretations of Moscow's directives and the promotion of personal agenda by Soviet leaders and activists.

The methodology of research includes a compara- tive historical approach (comparison of the historical concepts of Mykhailo Braichevskyi and other historians), biographical approach (analysis of Mykhailo Braichevskyi’s life and career), method of historiographic analysis (specific content of the research papers of Mykhailo Braichevskyi and other Cherniakhiv culture historians) and historiographic synthesis (the formation of the general image of Cherniakhiv culture in the legacy of Mykhailo Braichevskyi). The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that for the first time Mykhailo Braichevskyi’s concept of the ethnicity of Cherniakhiv culture is reconstructed and the factors that have defined it are stated.

  • Finland During the First Millenium
    FINLAND DURING THE FIRST MILLENIUM 1st millennia AD Jouko Pesonen The old sagas contain stories from the ancient times, as in here, in which I have collected, during the last twenty years, pieces of data about the Viking kings and mostly Finnish and Danish Vikings. First they conducted pillaging, later the pillaging transformed into trading and migration over the vast oceans. The sagas are often Norwegian or Dutch. One of the most known scribe of the sagas was Snorri Sturluson, Icelandic priest. Many recordings by eager family researchers were employed among the source materials and used for the interpretations of the studies. One can not trust on only one recording, especially a Russian one. Plenty of insight and interpretation were needed. I can not really base or pinpoint my perception in some particular earlier study. Simply small pieces and bits were collected together for THE HISTORY OF THE OLD FINNISH LION NATION AND HER VIKING KINGS- SUMMARY. Translated: M.

Summary. The article examines the political, ethnic and economic history of the Belarusian Panyamonne in the early Middle Ages (10th – 13th centuries). The Belorussian Panyamonne is a historical and ethnographic region of modern Belarus, located in the Neman river basin. The analysis of written and archaeological sources shows that the population of the region was poli-ethnic during this period. The East Slavic (Dregoviches, Volhynians, Krivichs) and the West Slavic (Mazovians) tribes came into contact with the Baltic tribes (Yotvingians, Lithuanians, Prussians). The cities of the Belarusian Panyamonne (Grodno, Slonim, Volkovysk, Novogrudok, Tureisk) were founded by the Slavs in the 11th – 13th centuries and quickly became centers of political, economic, and cultural life in the region. The unique architectural school was formed in 12th century in Grodno. In the middle of the 13th century the territory of the Belarusian Panyamonne became the center of the formation new political association - the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Key words: Belarusian Panyamonne, written sources, Ipatiev Chronicle, archaeological excavations, political history, socio-economic development, Slavic tribes, Yotvingians, Galician-Volhynian princes, fortifed city. Belarusian Panyamonne is a historical and ethnographic region of Belarus. It is distinguished by a complex of specifc ethno-cultural features and occupies the territory of Grodno and adjacent parts of Brest and Minsk regions.
