This book is a collection of papers written in honour of Professor Elzbieta Manczak-Wohlfeld on the occasion of her 70th birthday. The chapters that follow have been written by linguists affiliated with different universities in Poland and abroad, all of whom wish to pay tribute to Elzbieta’s outstanding work and contribution to language contact scholarship. The papers focus in large measure on contact linguistics, but some of them address also other phenomena.
An eminent linguist and a dedicated academic teacher, Elzbieta Manczak-Wohlfeld has continued to inspire both her students and colleagues. Her research focuses primarily on language contact theory, the influence of English on Polish and other European languages, the status of English as a world language, English-Polish contrastive studies as well as various aspects of English grammar. As Head of the Chair for Linguistics at the Institute of English Studies at the Jagiellonian University, Elzbieta Manczak-Wohlfeld has always shown readiness to assist her students and fellow academics with advice and, as a committed academic, she has nurtured a generation of linguists, who will surely look back with appreciation and gratitude at the time she spent with them, sharing her expertise and passion for scientific inquiry.
