Szczepionka, śmiercionka, trupionka. Modelling of the meanings of words in the antivaccine discourse related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses methods of modelling the szczepionka (‘vaccine’) lexeme meanings in the anti-vaccine discourse which has become more and more pronounced in the communication space during the SARS‑CoV-2 pandemic. Assumptions of the linguistics of discourse and corpus linguistics constitute the theoretical background of the analyses. The analysis of the collocations of the indicated units, its textual equivalents, associative meanings or occurrence contexts has showed that in the discourse examined it has ceased to be a neutral nomination, but has been overgrown with negative interpretations consistent with the view and ideology of the discursive community denying the legitimacy of vaccinations.
