Carpatismele Vlahe În Cultura Contemporană Poloneză
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Although the spread of the literary language has contributed to the gradual disappearance of some old regional terms, others, such as culturemes, have become a symbol of the identity of mountain communities and were recognized as such in other parts of Poland, sometimes “borrowed” into sociolects foreign to mountain culture. Others have become a trademark. In this paper, I analyse the contemporary function of culturemes inherited from the Vlach shepherds and the contexts in which they are used today. According to ethno-linguistic studies, we understand culturemes as synonyms of key words endowed with various meanings thanks to which the specificity of an ethnic and regional community can be understood.
