Pokario Lietuvos partizanas publicistiniame diskurse
The Partisan of Postwar Lithuania in the Discourse of Opinion Journalism

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on approximately 7,500 sentences on postwar Lithuanian partisans selected from the texts of opinion journalism stored in the Corpus of Contemporary Lithuanian Language. Following the methodology of conceptual analysis elaborated by the Lublin ethnolinguistic school, the article attempts to find out how the Lithuanian partisan is conceptualised and categorised in the discourse of opinion journalism and what its cognitive definition is. The semantic analysis of the data made it clear that the identity of the partisan reflected in the corpus is not uniform. The perception of the partisan in the discourse of opinion journalism is three-fold: 1) as a particular, explicitly specified person; 2) as an abstract, unidentified figure; 3) as an unreal, falsified identity.
