LINGUISTIC-CULTURAL CHANGES IN A RURAL AREA ON THE BASIS OF EXPRESSIONS CONNECTED TO CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the conclusions from the materiał gathered among students of three junior high schools and their eldest relatives. The research, in the form of a ąuestionnaire, was done in Małopolska County in 2011. The analysis of the data allows noticing that the eldest generation usually uses dialectical terms connected to values deeply-set in rural backgrounds for centuries. Meanwhile young peoples’s lexicon reflects modern popular culture. The dialectical expressions used by the eldest generation criticise illegitimate children, negligee and attaching importance to taking care of beauty. There is no positive assessment in their vocabulary as opposed to the language of the youth’s, who freąuently use words of endearment, approve exposing of a body and who are not as strict with morał values as elder people. Moreover, their language is rich in English terms and those of modern popular culture.
