The article shows the relations between the notions of factoid and so-called operative fiction, and the role factoids play in the creation of this fiction.
The article presents the individual characteristics of the language (idiolect/idiostyle) of the columns written by Henryk Martenka from “Angora” in 2015. These are among others: humour, irony, colloquial, lexical innovation, original epithets, styling, quotes with argumentative function, rhetorical strategy questions, making understatements. They demonstrate the originality, conceptualization of subsistence of his author, his consciousness and metalinguistic reflection and bring the reader closer to world’s attitudes, opinions and values.
The author of this article examines the currently fashionable notion of a sovereign, disseminated by the Law and Justice (PiS) party in the election campaign of 2015. The semantic and axiological evolution of this historic concept has been presented in conceptual terms as well as within the so-called theory of parity. The concept of sovereign chosen from the field of conceptual ‛ruler’ was attributed to the nation and citizens. With time, however, that understanding was re-evaluated, and the changes related to the entirety of the lexical value of expression. The author also considers the functioning of the concept of a sovereign hand in hand with the loudly unspoken (i.e. empty space) notion of vassal functioning on the level of latent conceptualization. Evolving meanings, reversal of these words by politicians of different options is exemplified by their words.
