Zerwany kontrakt? Rozumienie wyrazów i tzw. {luka pokoleniowa} w kontekście współczesnych przemian kulturowych
Broken Contract? Understanding of Words and the So-called Generation Gap in the Context of Modern Cultural Changes

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the problem of changes in modern Polish language against both conspicuous domination of oral form and influence of icon-dominated communication. This article refers to J. W. Ong’s opposition of orality / literacy understood as two cognitive modes, two modes of thinking, two modes of coding and decoding of speech. Both tendencies preserve concrete thinking. The style of thinking is reflected in the word-understanding process, influencing the relation: language-cognizance-tradition. The word-understanding process is shown as one of the symptoms of the beginning of the generation gap.
