Abstract:

This paper is the first attempt for linguistic analysis of the specific
language of published texts (newspapers, English grammar and tale) written
in the USA by Slovak immigrants at the threshold of the 20th century. The
language of these texts has been uninvestigated till present but there is
an opinion they were created in the Eastern Slovak dialect. In fact, there
are many diverse Eastern Slovak phonetic and morphological features in its
structure, but they compete corresponding with the Slovak literary language
ones. In this connection this language may be identified as a mixture
arisen as a consequence of of Eastern Slovak and Slovak literary language
interaction.

The Slovak literary language and the Eastern Slovak have different
positions in the Slovak American publications, because the first idiom is
considered as a phenomenon of indivisible whole. On the contrary, the
Eastern Slovak functions as a certain generalization of its components
competing not only with Slovak literary language, but also each other. In
this case the Slovak literary language often plays a part of peculiar
filter, which assists their penetration into the structure of these texts
or prevents from it.

The rules of the Slovak literary language continue to be used in the
language of the Slovak American publications, but they are modified under
influence of the Eastern Slovak. However, it enables to conclude the Slovak
literary language was just the base of the language of the Slovak American
publications.

The language of the Charter of "The First Hungarian-Slovak Society
Supported in the Case of Illness" published in 1887 in New York essentially
differs from other Slovak American publications, because the Eastern Slovak
dialect actually was its base.
