Tendencje w tworzeniu pseudonimów internetowych przez użytkowników polsko- i angielskojęzycznych – analiza porównawcza
Tendencies in forming Internet pseudonyms by Polish and English speakers – comparative analysis

Summary/Abstract: The present article is devoted to the tendencies in creating pseudonyms used by Polish and English speaking users of the Internet. The conducted analysis concentrates separately on Polish and English pseudonyms used in basic communicative environments: a social networking site, forum and a chatroom. It was possible to define dominant tendencies in the Polish and English language thanks to distinguishing a category within the Internet users most often create their pseudonyms. The register of all the studied nicks indicates a great similarity of Polish and English pseudonyms. Therefore, linguistic and cultural differences between Polish and English speaking Internet users do not have a significant influence on creating nick names in the „global network”. Trans. A. Gierba
