Description
Summary:Polish Old Believers constitute a bilingual ethno-cultural minority. Their bilingualism has developed especially in the 20th century, & since then it has been modified under the influence of Polish language. On the one hand, there are Polish borrowings, insertions & loan-translations in Russian Old Believers' dialect. On the other hand, the Old Believers have preserved many dialectal features from their region of origin -- Pskov region in north-Western Russia. The author attempts to reveal, how many & which Pskov language features are still present in the Old Believers' dialect. The analysis is basing on an idiolect of a representative of the old generation of the community of our interest. Adapted from the source document
