AbstractThis study focuses on the process of the gradual shaping of Czech national awareness in Moravia from the beginning of the nineteenth century onwards when the necessary conditions for the development of improved mutual relations between the Czech (Slavic) population in the two Lands of the Czech Crown -Bohemia and Moravia - were slowly being formed. Moravia faced a number of handicaps to the development of a national revival in comparison with Bohemia, the most significant of which was the relatively high degree of Germanisation of the land. A change to the image of Moravia came in the revolutionary years 1848/1849, when Czech national awareness spread to broader sections of society in Moravia. The view of Bohemia held by the Moravians underwent significant change and a period of increasingly intensive political and cultural contact between the two lands arose.

The book discusses language and cultural contact from different research perspectives: linguistic and sociolinguistic, glottodidactic, translational and cultural. The authors analyse the relations between language and identity among inhabitants of multilingual border regions, and among emigrant female writers of Jewish descent. They also reflect on cultural metissage on the example of Poland and Haiti, culturemes in literary translation and the variant of English used in the Polish Matura Exam. The volume contains articles in Polish, French and English.
