Tytuł: Szeptuchy jako specyficzne zjawisko znachorskie pogranicza na Podlasiu Autorzy: Sadanowicz, Ewelina Abstrakt: This article focuses on the phenomenon of folk healing in the Polish region of Podlasie. Folk healers, commonly known as szeptuchy (which translates as whisperers) are elderly women who treat a number of diseases by applying different methods of healing such as prayers and incantations. The practices of the folk healers are related both to magical thinking and folk medicine in which main remedy and the most essential part in the process of healing is a magic word. Szeptucha emerges herself in sacrum and by whispering incantations mainly of Orthodox provenience she persuades the disease to leave a sick person. The existence of the healers in Podlasie can be linked to the Orthodox faith and the East Slavic minorities present in this land since early Middle Ages.

Tytuł: Język romani – przeszłość, teraźniejszość, przyszłość. Społeczne i kulturowe aspekty romskiej mowy, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dialektu szczepu Polska Roma Autorzy: Szczygielska, Ewa Abstrakt: The history of the Gypsies concentrate on the research of their language because the language itself gives proof of their Indian origin. Scientists compared romani dialects with Sanscrit and New Indo-Aryan languages, which let them acknowledge that the Gypsies probably come from India. They left India in 10th century for unknown reasons. The romani language has been an oral language despite many trials to codify it. It has gone through a basic evolutionary way of being formed spontaneously by people. Nowadays, a lack of langauge standards and loanwords cause a problem for the Gypsies all over the world to communicate. However, whole Gypsy`s culture, including a language, is a mosaic of different cultures met on their century-old journey. The romani language illustrates routes of Gypsies migration and outer influences. Comminucation in the romani let the Gypsy save their tradition, sustain group identity and strengthen inner solidarity. The language is for them a certain code, known and used almost exclusively by the Gypsies. Although it is not single and common for all their speakers, it plays a linking role.

Tytuł: Sztuczne języki wobec mediów społecznościowych Autorzy: Białous, Maciej Abstrakt: The main subject of this article is the condition of artificial languagesin contemporary social media. An analysis of the available statistics of YouTube, Wikipedia and Facebook shows the unwavering position of Esperanto as the most common artificial language. Other artificial languages, primarily auxiliary languages created in the 19th and 20th centuries, such as volapük, ido, novial, interlingua, interlingue, find their niches in social media, but their presence seems to be supported by very narrow groups of enthusiasts. Contemporary artificial language projects, such as lojban or toki pona are in a similar position. Although Internet is the natural environment for their development, they have not managed to gain wider popularity among users. Certainly, artistic languages embedded in well-known popular culture texts find a great resonance among the internauts, as shows the examples of Klingon and Sindarin languages mentioned in the article.
