Abstract
Judgements on language matters made by recognized writers comprise a particularly interesting subject because the ‘judges’ themselves are not only sensitive and influential users of their language, but, owing to the nature of their work, have the skills and authority to speculate on these matters in ways that often go far beyond the common stereotypes. Moreover, either they openly declare the ideological motivations that lie behind their statements or these motivations can be decoded from their aesthetic or ideological creed. Their reflections can be particularly acute if they live and work in two (or more) language environments, as was the case with Czeslaw Milosz and Joseph Brodsky, two Nobel Prize winners who both spent a significant period of their creative lives as emigres.
