Summary/Abstract: This study explores the role of Polish-language media in the UK in shaping the identity of the Poles who have recently migrated to the UK. It analyses a corpus of texts (announcements, news reports and columns) published between October 2013 and April 2014 on the Polish-language website designed for the Polish community residing in the UK. It identifies the main representations of Poles by examining referential, predicational and attributional techniques used in the texts, and reconstructs the website’s discursive strategies of self-presentation
