The sociolinguistic situation of Polish Besides the situation in the current job market, another factor which may influence student’s choice whether or not to study Polish is the sociolinguistic situation of Polish, which may be tentatively defined as the pattern of the use of Polish in society.

Polish is 7th in terms of the number of speakers at home over age five, with 723,000 speakers. This seems a very large number compared with an enrollment of approximately 800 in Polish language classes at U.S. universities.

 Article
Polish immigrants thus brought with them to America a strong faith, a faith shaped both by the central focus of the local parish and the adversity of national partition during which Catholicism became a symbol of resistance to foreign rule.
Further, since Polish immigrants generally viewed American public education with suspicion, considering it both anti-religious and anti-Polish, one of the chief means of transmitting religious and cultural values was through the parish school, an institution Poles were willing to dig deep into their meager resources to support as a guardian of their traditions.
While Polish Americans struggled to preserve their way of life, tax monies raised from working-class ethnic communities were used to purchase and tear down whole blocks of traditionally ethnic neighborhoods, replacing them with low income housing reserved for so-called "non-White" minorities to the exclusion of low income Poles.

 Polish Literature in English Translation
Therefore, while one of the marvelous advantages of the Web is that availability of translations of Polish literature are far less dependent on profit-motive, one of its drawbacks is the reduction in the amount and potential quality of editing.
For those translations of Polish works in book format, the site provides bibliographic information; I've chosen not to link to vendors in order not to privilege one over another, and because sometimes what one vendor identifies as out of print or unavailable may not be so.
At this point, I've decided to restrict the list to authors who were born in what was considered Polish national or cultural territory at the time of their birth AND who--except for pre-17th century authors writing in Latin--wrote at least some of their works in the Polish language.

 The Polish Housing Market
Well, the Polish state has been of a different opinion until quite recently, although, the state's interference with the private ownership dating since 1944, constitutes a clear breech of the article 1 of the Convention of Human Rights.
The state still continued to regulate the rent, thus protecting the "weak," that is the tenant, against the "capitalistic" owners.
As could be expected, the Polish state lodged an immediate appeal and the case was judged again in January this year, although the new judgment has not as yet been made public.

While, in general, the Polish settlers were tolerably well off, few individuals were so situated as to be able to finance the professional education of their sons; rather they found the early labor of their boys a welcome source of income, placing their hopes for a better educated offspring in their grandchildren.
Perhaps the only unsolved problem that confronted the Polish religious leaders of South Bend in 1914 was one that had grown out of trusteeism and competition between clerical and lay leaders, resulting in the establishment of a schismatic Polish national church in the neighborhood of Saint Casimir's.
The Polish settlers of South Bend were by this time a strongly knit Polish American community, conscious of their achievement and anxious for further service to the ideals that had made their group a vital part of South Bend.

 First World War.com - Who's Who - Josef Pilsudski
When war in Europe broke out in early August 1914 Pilsudski seized the opportunity to personally lead Polish troops in an invasion of Russia on 6 August in a loose alliance with the Austrians, although he envisaged Polish independence stemming from an Allied victory in the west combined with a Russian defeat in the east.
With the Russians subsequently ousted from Eastern Poland by the Germans he accepted a position on the Polish Council of State in November 1916 following Poland's 'liberation' from Russia (a state of affairs declared by Germany and Austria-Hungary).
Finding his aims at odds with those of the controlling German authorities Pilsudski tendered his resignation from the Council (and as Minister of War) in March 1917 and was arrested by German forces in July following his repudiation of the German Warsaw Governor Hans von Beseler, and imprisoned until the armistice of November 1918.

 The Place of Human Rights Treaties - in the Polish Legal Order
The only provision of the 1952 Constitution which mentioned international law was Article 30(1)(8) which vested competence to ratify and terminate treaties with the Council of State, which was at the time the collegial head of state.
While the theory was unequivocal and clear as to the applicability of treaties in Polish national law, there were different views as to the place of these treaties in the hierarchy of legal norms.
4 The Council of State was elected by the Parliament from among its members and performed some of the tasks within the competency of Parliament between parliamentary sessions.
