Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Focusing on Slavic languages, Danko Šipka provides a systematic approach to
lexical indicators of cultural identity. In contrast to existing research,
which focuses heavily on syntactic and phonological approaches, Šipka's
approach is novel, more systematic and encompassing, and postulates three
lexical layers of cultural identity: deep, exchange, and surface. The deep
layer pertains to culture-specific words, divisions, and features that are
generally not subject to change and intervention. The exchange layer includes
lexical markers of cultural influences resulting from lexical borrowing, which
situates the speakers into various cultural circles. This layer is subject to
gradual changes and some limited level of intervention from linguistic elites
is possible. Finally, the surface layer encompasses the processes and
consequences of lexical planning. It is subject to abrupt changes and it is
shaped in constant negotiation between linguistic elites and general body of
speakers.
