ON THE POLISH LANGUAGE OF THE GUESTS OF “WE KNOW OURSELVES FROM HEARING” BROADCAST ON A POLISH RADIO STATION IN LITHUANIA

The article focuses on the regional/dialectal features of the language of people participating in the program We Know Ourselves from Hearing broadcast on the radio station “Znad Wilii.” The phonetic, inflectional, and syntactic features as well as lexical peculiarities were analyzed. The research demonstrates relatively few linguistic elements typical of the Lithuanian Polish language in the respondents’ language. The phonetic features include the labialized pronunciation of the vowel o, the presence of a palatalized l in various phonetic positions, and the pronunciation of post-alveolar consonants with incomplete palatalization. The few peculiarities in terms of inflexion concerned mainly noun endings and numeral forms. Standard syntactic features include fairly frequent distortions in the use of masculine and non-masculine forms and some verb-government structures. The vocabulary includes a dozen or so semantic archaisms and semantic and lexical borrowings that have long been present in Lithuanian Polish.
