Summary/Abstract: The article presents issues related to the definitional, stereotypical and symbolic meaning of HOME. Linguistic material was gathered from a collection entitled Życie w drodze. Antologia poezji hippisów (Warsaw 1986). Non-linguistic contexts were taken into account in the process of analysis and interpretation. It has been proven that HOME in the poetry of Polish hippies is presented in a manner far removed from the stereotype and is not valued positively. The explanation of such an approach lies in the broad non-linguistic context, i.e. the philosophy of the hippie movement.
