Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to investigate the differences in the linguistic way of presenting refugees in Polish media. The basic issue influencing the analysis is conceptualization, which is one of the funda- mental concepts in cognitive linguistics. The research material consists of 1,324 contexts of the phrase war refugees. The collected material was selected, arranged thematically and assigned to one of three dis- tinguished categories (“Invasion Army,” “Lukashenko’s Tourists,” “Real War Refugees”). The conclusion of the analysis is to describe the changes that have occurred in the Polish media discourse on war refugees.
