Zitat von Elena Gapova <e.gapova at WORLDNET.ATT.NET>:

> Dear colleagues,
>
> my question is about the phenomenon which is called trasyanka in Belarus and
> surzhik in Ukraine and is usually described (very simplistically) as "a
> mixture of two languages, Russian and Belarusian (Ukrainian)" allegedly
> resulting from locals (villagers) trying to speak Russian, as they move into
> citites, and finishing with trasyanka instead of a literary standard
> language (the social process is more interesting and complicated, of
> course). There are other interpretations, too.
>
> Does anyone know if anyhting has been published on the phenomenon?
