Biography

Anna Parzymies finished secondary school and college in Sofia, Bulgaria. During 1957–1962, she studied at the Faculty of Turkish Philology at the University of Sofia. In 1962, she received a Bulgarian government grant to study Arabic at the Bourguiba Institute of Modern Languages, Tunis El Manar University, Tunisia. In 1971, she received a master's degree at the Faculty of Foreign Languages at Warsaw University. In 1978, she was awarded a Ph.D. degree at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. Following habilitation in 1992, she was awarded a postdoctoral degree in the humanities, in the field of Turkic linguistics. Her main research interests include language contacts between Turkic and Slavic peoples and the cultures of Muslim communities.

She specializes in three areas of research:

  • Islam in Europe (primarily as relates to the Maghreb minorities in France; Chechens, Ingush, Tatars, and other Muslim communities in the Russian Federation; Albanians and Bosnian Muslims in the Balkans);
  • Arabic sociolinguistics and, in particular, the Turkish influences on spoken Arabic;
  • Methodology of historical linguistics, with an emphasis on the Altaic language group.

Parzymies is also the creator and founder of Dialog Academic Publishing, a Polish publishing company started in 1992. The company specializes in publications that are related to Africa and Asia or are written by authors from the area. Fiction published includes classical Sanskrit poetry, modern Chinese poetry, and novels written by North African authors. It has also published a number of European authors. A considerable part of its output is related to religion and Oriental languages.

gollark: Wait, *snapped* your iPhone?
gollark: It's generally possible to run LineageOS on at least some cheap Android devices, which is nice as I do not have to suffer the horrors of the manufacturer's software.
gollark: I've never actually lost any, I think my last one died due to a nonfunctional touchscreen and the one before that due to a defect with the charging port.
gollark: I mostly just buy cheap (~£120) phones, which means repair is hard but at least they can be replaced cheaply in two years when they inevitably break.
gollark: Something like that? In any case, it was allegedly vaguely better somehow but made repairs cost more.
