Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is a pragmatic description of fasting – what it is for language users, what it means for them and to what extent its modern understanding can enrich or change the lexicographic description of this word. Advertising materials aimed at promoting health and combating civilization diseases are good material to show how language preserves what is primary and what is secondary in thinking and talking about fasting.
