The Discourse on Sarmatism in Gazeta Wyborcza

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses references to Sarmatism in Gazeta Wyborcza. These references amount to a discourse that is above all political and serves not to describe an aspect of reality, but to change present reality according to a certain vision of the national community’s past. This vision is expressed through a rather homogenous image that results from understanding Sarmatism as a category (hence the use of cognitive linguistics as a basic tool to examine the newspaper’s discourse). The category of Sarmatism was founded on neoliberal ideology in the first years after the founding of Gazeta Wyborcza; later it turned to liberal ideology.
