PRACA JAKO POJĘCIE KONTROWERSYJNE W INTERNETOWYCH DEBATACH POLAKÓW: LINGWISTYCZNA REKONSTRUKCJA MODELI POZNAWCZYCH (NA MATERIALE WYPOWIEDZI Z LAT 2015–2019)
Work as a controversial notion in online debates of Poles: a linguistic reconstruction of cognitive models (on the material of statements of 2015–2019)

Summary/Abstract: The observations presented in this paper fall within the confines of a plan covering a broader scope of research on the key notions underlying the constitution and polarisation of the Polish economic discourse on popular web portals. The idealised cognitive models (ICMs) of “work”, actualised in the discourse, are subject to a linguistic reconstruction and the methodological principle consists in an analysis of semantic profiles of the key symbol and recurrent collocations as well as the standard phrases invoking the identified central notion. The divergent views on the operation of the economy presented by two distinctive groups of discourse participants: advocates and critics of capitalism provide an important interpretative framework determining the diverse profiling of the category “work” in the online debate. The controversy of the notion manifests itself also in the fact that the two contradictory cognitive models built around it are composed not only of the axioms accepted by a given group but also of the ones it ascribes to their opponents.
