Polexit w polskim dyskursie publicznym

Journal Title: Socjolingwistyka - Year 2018, Vol 32, Issue

Abstract

The aim of the article is the linguistic-discursive analysis of the polexit lexeme. The analysis includes: collocations of the word and their meanings, metaphorical uses and their cognitive-axiological properties, conceptualization of the notion depending on the sender’s category, the recipient’s category and the interpretation frameworks. The following search engines were used to create the database: moncofrazeo.pl (search engine and corpus of texts), dorzeczy.pl and polityka.pl (search engine and base of texts of two Polish opinion-forming magazines). The frequency of the polexit lexeme is correlated with specific political events. Since March 2017, the lexeme has become a discursive construct with a propaganda function and is used in texts about the position of Poland in the EU. It is conceptualized, depending on the ideology and discursive function of the sender, as: a threat, absurd, opportunity, desired state.
