PIRANIA I HARPIA – METAFORY KOBIECOŚCI W FELIETONACH MAŁGORZATY DOMAGALIK
PIRANIA (THE PIRANHA) AND HARPIA (THE HARPY) – METAPHORS OF FEMININITY IN MAŁGORZATA DOMAGALIK’S COLUMNS

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the metaphors referring to women in Małgorzata Domagalik’s columns. The columnist shows two types of female personalities: pirania (the Piranha) and harpia (the Harpy). The author discusses how Domagalik transforms the stereotype of women using the metaphors in question. Piranhas are very insecure women who hate everything that is different, whereas harpies are extraordinary, unorthodox, and demanding a lot fromthemselves and from others. The methodological structure is based on linguistic and cultural analysis of metaphors present in Małgorzata Domagalik’s columns.
