Derywowane anglicyzmy jako wyraz ekspansji słownictwa potocznego i środowiskowego w języku mediów ostatniego ćwierćwiecza
Derived anglicisms as signs of the expansion over the last quarter-century of colloquial and circle­‑related vocabulary within the language of the med

Summary/Abstract: This study presents the dynamic processes by which anglicisms are being made subject to assimilative word-formation in the most current Polish, as these may be set against the more general developmental trend dubbed “democratisation”, to be observed in contemporary Slavic languages. The last quarter century’s observed expansion within media language of both colloquial vocabulary and vocabulary associated with a specific circle is something the author links with, on the one hand: the younger generation’s enhanced need to achieve effective expression, generate value judgments and demonstrate affinity with a given group or circle (i.a. by way of specific wordplay and camouflage); and on the other: a “laid-back” atti­tude, with a simul­taneous desire (on the part of journalists) to bring the media they repre­sent closer to their audiences or recipients, which is to say to ordinary, everyday users of language.
