	abstract = {While Polish migration to the UK has attracted much academic attention, there has been less discussion about the consequences of Polish migrants{\textquoteright} encounters with difference in socially diverse UK contexts. In particular, relatively little has been written about how Polish migrants describe or refer to {\textquoteleft}visible{\textquoteright} difference in terms of ethnicity, nationality, religion, class and gender. This reflects a broader tendency in migration studies to frequently overlook the production and transnational transfer of migrant language. In this article, I explore how Polish post-2004 migrants to the northern English city of Leeds produce {\textquoteleft}the language of difference{\textquoteright} and how this migrant language is passed on to non-migrants in Poland. I distinguish two types of language of difference {\textendash} the language of stigma and the language of respect. I note that migrants construct both speech normativities through engaging with rhetoric existing in the Polish and/or the UK context as well as through developing {\textquoteleft}migrant slang{\textquoteright} of difference. I further argue that the language of stigma and the language of respect are transferred to Poland via the agency of migrants. The article draws upon a broader study of Polish migrants{\textquoteright} values and attitudes towards difference and the circulation of ideas between these migrants and their family members and friends in Poland. It contributes to emerging debates on Polish migrants{\textquoteright} encounters with difference and social remittances between the UK and Poland.},
