On the other hand, Polish researchers pay attention primarily to the situation of the Polish language. The article presents the main elements of social language situation, as well as using the key areas of languages and communication taking into accounts the link between language and social facts. Theses presented in this article are the result of extensive research based respectively on: the latest statistics of the National Statistics Committee of Belarus from the last census, passive and participatory observation, several interviews (including biographical) with representatives of various social groups, information on the activities of civil society organizations, as well as known life experience.
