The present article is a preliminary examination of the language of disease and illness in English and Polish. We present the basic syntactic structures used in both the languages to talk about „having a disease”, discuss the differences and similarities in the two languages, and also touch upon the different conceptualizations of disease these linguistic forms bring about. In general it seems that both in Polish and English the ways of talking about disease and illness are quite similar as they both represent the so-called Western approach to medicine.
