| Crynodeb: | This paper examines Father John Dudek’s works on the language of the Czech diaspora in the US against the background of the post-imperial emancipation of the Czech language after the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918. The focus lies on the emerging interest in language issues in the diaspora, such as purism and maintenance, and its reception in Czechoslovakia itself. The paper discusses whether, and if so to what extent, these issues were addressed in the Czech diaspora in the US, particularly in Dudek’s writings. Special attention is given to Father Dudek as an agent of migrant knowledge, i.e. the circulation of knowledge among and through migrants. The paper wants to contribute to the history of Slavic Studies in non-Slavic countries and to the research on Slavic migrant languages. |
