The Sephardim-Slavonic language contact in Bosnia. The last period (1918-1941) / Sefardyjsko-słowiański kontakt językowy w Bośni. Ostatni period (1918-1941)

Piotr Żurek

Przedmiotem niniejszej książki jest ostatni okres sefardyjsko-słowiańskiego kontaktu językowego w Bośni, mający miejsce bezpośrednio przed Holokaustem, tj. w latach 1918-1941. Monografia ta jest rezultatem badań autora prowadzonych na terytorium Bośni i Hercegowiny oraz Chorwacji. Ponieważ miejscem najpełniejszego słowiańsko-żydowskiego kontaktu językowego były ziemie polskie, publikacja ta wzorowana jest na dorobku polskiego językoznawstwa w badaniach nad aszkenazyjsko-słowiańskimi relacjami lingwistycznymi.   Piotr Żurek – dr hab., profesor Akademii Techniczno-Humanistycznej w Bielsku-Białej. Historyk i slawista, autor licznych publikacji naukowych poświęconych problematyce południowosłowiańskiej. Jego zainteresowania językoznawcze obejmują zagadnienia kontaktu językowego i języka polityki.
