Call Number	491.8/042
Author	Šipka, Danko, author.
Title	Lexical layers of identity : words, meaning, and culture in the Slavic languages / Danko Šipka.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xvii, 266 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 13 May 2019).
Contents	Machine generated contents note: 1. A conceptual map; 2. Relevant research traditions; 3. Research methodology; 4. Lexeme-level culture-bound words, divisions, and features; 5. Lexicon-based culture-bound field density; 6. Stability and change; 7. Cultural influences; 8. Geographical contact; 9. Inbound and outbound exchange; 10. Lexical planning; 11. Lexicographic traditions; 12. Attitudes; Conclusion; 13. Interaction between the layers; 14. Main findings; 15. An outlook.
Summary	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.
Subject	Slavic languages Lexicology. Slavic languages Foreign words and phrases. Slavic languages Word formation. Language and culture Europe, Eastern.
