Preston, who first introduced them to American folk linguistics in the 90. of the past century. These modes are as follows: overt availability of language phenomena that are being commented, the degree of the opinion’s accuracy, the level of the specificity of folk knowledge, and the ability to control language varieties. The essential feature of the modes is that – unlike typical linguistic awareness research tools that help to analyze the layers and levels of language awareness – they allow the study of the ways in which the linguistic awareness of the averagelanguage user, so-called language layman, is revealed. In Polish studies on linguistic awareness, these determinants have not been described and used, although they present new possibilities for research explication. In this article, the explanations of Dennis R. Preston’s concept are partly based on the examples used by the researcher in his publications, and partly on comparable examples, but coming from Polish linguistic sources that include linguistic examples excerpted among the Polish ethnic group in Canada. The paper also presents the relationships between the modes of folk-linguistic awareness which are illustrated graphically. A preliminary diagnosis of the suitability of the characterized determinants in research on the linguistic awareness of Polish speakers invites in-depth studies to what extent these relatively objective tools may turn out to be useful in the analyses of the modes by which the linguistic awareness of social groups is revealed.}, title={Modes of Folk-linguistic Awareness and Relationships between them}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/233329/PDF/276-Tekst%20artyku%C5%82u-1469-1-10-20211231.pdf}, keywords={folk-linguistic awareness, modes of language awareness, folk linguistics, language attitudes, Polish Canadians}, }
