WZORY KOMUNIKACYJNO-JĘZYKOWE A WSPÓŁCZESNA LITERATURA
Communication and linguistic patterns in light of the contemporary literature

Summary/Abstract: Perceiving the role fulfilled by literature to date, communicating a socially significant system of values, teaching sensitivity and openness to others, helping understand their problems and learn motives for their conduct and behaviour, the authors make an attempt to answer two questions: Is the contemporary literature an indicator of a standard, a measure of beautiful and careful Polish? Is it then a model or an anti-model of communication and language for the recipient? They subject lexical layers of several novels published in the past two decades to analysis. They conclude that men of letters excessively freely and critically approach all standards, and make the language of the street a material for an artistic expression. Hence, anti-aestheticism, that is a conscious opposition to and diversion from positive aesthetic values, and acceptance of aesthetically negative values, such as ugliness, quirkiness, strangeness, disgust, aggressiveness, brutality, vulgarity, is becoming characteristic.
