Remarks on prison vocabulary and phraseology in Praktyczny słownik współczesnej polszczyzny [The Practical dictionary of modern Polish language], ed. H. Zgółkowa

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to exhibit prison vocabulary and phraseology includedin Praktyczny słownik współczesnej polszczyzny [The Practical dictionary of modern Polish language], ed. H. Zgółkowa as well as present the semantic analysis of the lexis. On the basis of the collected materials, it has been concluded that the basiccharacteristic of prison lexis is a substantial narrowing of the world view. However,thematic vocabulary related to living conditions – taking into account the povertyof designata – is very rich. Many vocabulary items used in prison jargon areemotionally loaded, which testifies to subjective and evaluative character. The languageof prisoners is abundant in expressive vocabulary, which in fact is already known in thegeneral language, but here, it receives new, usually metaphorical, meaning.
