Internet jako podstawa do badan nad tozsamoscia etniczna. Polskie blogi na Litwie

SUMMARY

The Internet as a Basis for Research on Ethnic Identity: Polish Blogs in LithuaniaThis article discusses an important type of public communication taking place in Lithuania – internet blogs written in Polish. The study presents how they function, outlines the reasons behind their creation, and analyses the topics which they concern. As this is a sphere of uncontrolled communication, the author makes an attempt to present various social attitudes and to analyse subjective opinions on cultural and identity issues. The linguistic ways of expressing them are also an equally important issue. In this study, we assume that the sphere of the internet, although so far little explored, can be a very good basis for research on the way ethnic identities are shaped. The analysis of the genres of texts posted on blogs or social networking sites indicates that they are characterised by rhetorical coherence, enter into various relationships with each other, creating a blogosphere, and have a dialogical nature. They are usually written in a general language with regional accretions. A frequent phenomenon is using these features as the hallmark of a group, a factor integrating the internet community. Due to the fact that the authors of these websites are usually young people, a common phenomenon is the colloquial linguistic marking of statements, striving to exaggerate certain events, using stylistically marked lexis. We are dealing here with the colloquial style preserved in the written version.Internet jako podstawa do badan nad tozsamoscia etniczna. Polskie blogi na LitwieCelem niniejszego artykulu jest próba zbadania jednego z typów komunikacji publicznej na Litwie, jakimi sa blogi internetowe, a takze okreslenia sposobu ich funkcjonowania, omówienie przyczyn ich powstania i analiza ich tematyki. Poniewaz jest to sfera komunikacji niekontrolowanej, jednoczesnie zostala podjeta próba przedstawienia róznorodnych postaw spolecznych, analiza subiektywnych zdan dotyczacych tematów kulturowych i tozsamosciowych. Zagadnieniem nie mniej waznym sa tez jezykowe sposoby ich wyrazania. W opracowaniu przyjeto zalozenie, ze malo dotychczas zbadana sfera Internetu moze byc bardzo dobra podstawa do badan nad sposobem ksztaltowania sie tozsamosci etnicznych. Jak wynika z analizy gatunków tekstów, zamieszczanych na stronach blogów lub portali spolecznosciowych, charakteryzuja sie one spójnoscia retoryczna, wchodza ze soba w rózne relacje, tworzac blogosfere, i sa ustawione na dialogowosc. Zazwyczaj pisane sa jezykiem ogólnym, w którym wystepuja nalecialosci regionalne. Czestym zjawiskiem jest wykorzystywanie tych cech regionalnych jako znaku rozpoznawczego grupy, czynnika integrujacego spolecznosc internetowa. W wyniku tego, ze autorami portali internetowych sa zazwyczaj osoby mlode, czestym zjawiskiem jest potoczne nacechowanie wypowiedzi, wyrazajace sie na róznych poziomach jezyka, a dazenie do przejaskrawienia niektórych wydarzen szczególnie widoczne jest poprzez uzycie leksyki nacechowanej stylistycznie. Mamy tu do czynienia ze stylem potocznym utrwalonym w wersji pisanej.
