This article reports emerging polycentric ideological orientations among UK‐educated middle‐class Polish‐speaking young adult migrants living and working in South‐East England in 2013–2014. The analysis of phonetic‐semiotic details in stance‐taking acts in chronotopic representations of experience reveals a continuum of sociolinguistic authority in which despite a shared sociocultural background, sociolinguistic possibilities are differently conceptualized and enacted. A close examination of the ways in which the participants exploit differences in clusters of morphonological detail demonstrates that English‐like realizations in Polish, while motivated by particular linguistic context and discursive function, co‐occur mainly in the speech of female “cosmopolitans” to signal orientation toward relevant social images and create locally valid and recognizable value effects. The relational, collective, and embodied soundings of sameness and difference depend on scalarity and complex interconnections between ethnicity, class, and gender in transnational timespace. The findings have implications for studies of variation and migrant discourse.

显出差异：跨国时空中波兰语移民的意识形态取向的多中心性

本文报告了2013-2014年在英国教育，居住在英格兰东南部，工作于英国的波兰中产阶级年轻成年移民中新兴的多中心意识形态取向。对按时间顺序表示的经历中的姿态采取行为中的语音符号学细节的分析揭示了社会语言权威的连续性，尽管社会文化背景相同，但社会语言可能性却被不同地概念化和制定。仔细研究参与者利用形态学细节群集中的差异的方式，可以发现波兰语中的英语式实现受到特定语言环境和话语功能的激励，这主要是在女性“大都会”的讲话中同时发生，以表明朝向相关社会形象的取向，并在当地产生有效且可识别的价值效应。相同和不同的关系，集体和具体化的发声取决于跨国时空中种族，阶级和性别之间的标量和复杂的相互联系。这些发现对变异和移民话语的研究具有启示意义。
