This article has two main goals. Firstly, to present the basic notions of the theory of language ideologies. Secondly, to discuss the concept of alienation of meaning, which is an example of language ideology. Alienation of meaning is analysed both in terms of “popular” beliefs about the language and as an element of linguistic theory. In order to show a broader perspective of the subject, an interpretation of a work of art is presented. The article ends with a discussion of the utility of the notion of alienation of meaning.

In this paper I discuss a common argument put forward by the feminist movement and present in academic publications in the field of gender and language studies. Based on the assumption that language is not a transparent means of communication, the argument states that a patriarchal worldview is embedded in linguistic structure of Polish and other languages. This leads some feminist activists to advocating language change that would alter certain elements of linguistic structure in an attempt to eradicate the perceived bias. I argue that the feminist argument is based on a debatable interpretation of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that does not take into consideration recent developments in the field, notably the theory of language ideologies. I conclude that for a scientific investigation of values allegedly carried by language, it is necessary to go beyond the study of linguistic structure alone and incorporate methods of other social sciences that will allow us to grasp the social context from which language cannot be ultimately separated.
