Abstract
The process of cultural adaptation ofthe Slovak colonists to the new living conditions in Lowland did not result in the cultural destruction. There was a selective transfer ofcultural information that corresponded with the Slovak enclaves’ current needs in the new environment. However, the Slovak material culture did not lose its previous role ofthe main symbol ofethnic identification. Interaction between Slovaks, the majority community and other ethnic minorities, was reflected in the material culture. Social conditions in Lowland were favourable for the Slovak colonists’ efforts to negotiate the differences between their original material culture and the new one that they were building in the process ofconstruction oftheir new living environment. The Slovak enclaves in Lowland manifested a high degree of “cultural literacy” -the ability to exist in certain material and social environment. Their cultural competencies that were acquired in the native cultural environment in Slovakia (socialization) were effectively implemented in the multiethnic and multicultural environment. The ability of ethnic community to adapt to the changed living conditions which does not have significant impact on ethnic identification is known as cultural adaptability.
