O NAZWACH WSPÓŁCZESNYCH POLSKICH UGRUPOWAŃ POLITYCZNYCH
On the Names of Contemporary Polish Political Parties

Summary/Abstract: The article offers an analysis of the names of more than 300 political groups (mainly parties), which appeared in Poland after the year 1989. Their functions are presented here, as well as their influence on electoral choices of the society. The detailed analysis is focused on two nominative aspects: categorization of the group and defining the community that the group aims at. Genus proximum is the element which takes part in categorization processes. Several nouns have been distinguished here (partia, ruch, stronnictwo - party, movement, wing etc.) and the PR directions of the parties suggested by main lexemes in their names have been analyzed. An analysis of words other than genus proximum leads to the image of the community, which, by its names, is formed by the recipient. Almost all lexemes which constitute the names of parties have been categorized by means of graphs.
