Abstract

The article analyses the functioning of the language ideologies in Ivano-Frankivsk (ancient Stanislav), a city that geographically belongs to the Ukrainian-Polish borderland. The purpose of the article is to describe the influence of the functioning of language ideologies of the domains ‘family’ and ‘school education’ on the choice of Ukrainian as the first language in Ivano-Frankivsk (formely Stanislav), a city that geographically belongs to the Ukrainian-Polish borderland. The individual decisions and actions of language users of all generations in Ivano-Frankiwsk can lead to powerful changes in ‘language management’ - situation with the choice of Ukrainian instead of Polish in everyday life. This choice is influenced by only 2 domains - the language of the family and the language of the school.  The methods used are linguistic biography and questionnaires.
