Abstract:

The monograph, based on broad studies into the Polish diaspora in Sweden,
provides a picture of the social factors influencing the maintenance of the
heritage language and culture by the second generation of emigrants. The
author’s main objective, however, is to discover the systemic mechanisms
underlying language acquisition by children in a bilingual setting and to
investigate the influence of the interference from the dominant language on
the acquisition of Polish. A particular attention is devoted to the category
of case, which is absent from Swedish. Although it, generally, represents a
description of a particular linguistic material, in fact the book addresses
problems of the theory of language acquisition. The results and conclusions
enable a better understanding of the universal semiotic and psychological
principles that motivate the structure of the grammatical system of a natural
language.
