The talk examines a conundrum inherent to the study of
Polish-Ukrainian language contact: From a linguistic point of
view, it strives towards clear attributions of items as ‘Polonisms
in Ukrainian’ and ‘Ukrainianisms in Polish’. However, the
extralinguistic reality led to loan relations between the two
languages that often defy straightforward attributions of this
kind. We shall focus on two case studies in particular: the
possible role of Polish influence on the development of
relative-clause markers in Ukrainian, and mutual influences in the
treatment of ‘virile’ gender in ‘boderland’ Polish and western
Ukrainian dialects. In both instances, the linguistic outcomes of
Polish-Ukrainian language contact are contingent on
extralinguistic, i.e. historically specific configurations of
individual and societal Ukrainian-Polish bilingualism.<br>
