Bilingualism or Monolingualism? (Some Aspects of the Bilingualism and Dyglossia in Literary Creativity)

Abstract

The paper deals with some issues connected with the notions of bilingualism and diglossia in literary creativity. The main object of the investigation is the opposition: standard language / territorial dialect, and the leading criterion of the delimitation between the said phenomena - the existence / absence of the specific codified norm. Some other factors such as the genetic affinity of the idioms and the language policy towards them are also considered.
