Stereotyp człopca w prasie młodzieżowej z ostatnich lat PRL
A stereotype of a boy in the youth press from the last years of the Polish Folk Republic

Summary/Abstract: The article constitutes a contribution to the studies on a linguistic image of a young man in the context of the principles of good upbringing. The material was taken from the column "Ada to nie wypada" in “Filipinka”, a non-existing magazine for teenagers between 1979 and 1980. The very material invokes an inconsistent image of a young man. Generally speaking, a slightly different image of a young man is presented by girls, the boy himself and an adult — an editor of the column who replied to letters and commented on given behaviours. The two main opposing features — an excessive sensitivity or thick skin — sum up a developing image of a young man from the turn of the 1970s and the 1980s of the former century. Yearning for chivalry manifested by the editor breaks in the social reality — fades in favour of equal partnership relations. According to the cultural stereotype of a caretaker or a self-confident ruler are slowly but systematically displaced in favour of the attitudes of a legitimate fellow who has the same privileges and duties as a female colleague. These socio-cultural changes are reflected in a changing linguistic stereotype.
