Współczesny obraz pogranicza polsko-białorusko-litewskiego. Spojrzenie od wewnątrz

Abstract

Contemporary Image of the Polish-Belarusian-Lithuanian Borderland. A Look from the Inside: The purpose of this publication is to evaluate Anna Żebrowska’s book ‘Komarovshchyzna. The Belarusian-Polish-Lithuanian Borderland’ (Poznan: UAM Press, 2019) on the background of other studies of Belarusian dialects in the Myadzel district (north-western Belarus). The monograph fills a gap in the existing dialectological research, revealing in detail the phonetic, morphological, syntactic and lexical peculiarities of the local Belarusian dialect. The research, based on the anthropological method, also contains a rich selection of dialect texts. The review stresses out the advantages of the book, as well as draws attention to certain disputable issues.
