What Do We Know About the State of Being Unaware? Analyzing the Polish Lexeme {nieświadomość} (‘unaware,’ ‘unconscious’) on the Basis of Selected Dictionaries and Usage Contexts

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide an answer to the question concerning the scope, aspects and results of the relationship between unawareness and language on the basis of a semantic analysis of three Polish lexemes: the noun {nieświadomość} (Eng. unawareness), the adjective {nieświadomy} (Eng. unaware) and the adverb {nieświadomie} (Eng. unconsciously). All lexemes in question, found in selected dictionaries as well as contexts of their use documented both in the National Corpus of Polish and retrieved from the Internet (Google Platform), allow us to establish three different meanings of the noun nieświadomość, as well as build several semantic profiles characteristic for two of those meanings.
