The article is devoted to the semantic evolution of the word patchwork, which has become frequent in contemporary Polish. This appropriate borrowing from English was registered in Polish lexicography for the first time in 1995. In the twenty years since then, it showed its new meanings different from the original ‘artistic handicraft technique, consisting in stitching together pieces of material of different colours and shapes’, ‘composition resulting from the use of this technique’ and ‘product formed in this manner, for example bedspread, tapestry, clothes’. Nowadays, this lexeme can refer to any term referring to a particular or abstract designatum which ‘creates a coherent whole, but consists of various elements’ and also – as a derivatives of phraseology the patchwork family – means ‘a family founded by parents, at least one of whom has had a previous unsuccessful relationship or marriage involving their common children, their children from previous relationships, and sometimes also former partners and their relatives’.

O regionalizmach tytka i tyta

63%
XX
Regional words tytka and tyta persist among the lexical separateness in several regions of Poland. The noun tytka is often used in the traditional meaning ‘the paper bag’, but also in the extended scope ‘the packaging of other material’. The stabilization of both lexemes in regional varieties of Polish is reinforced by well-known customs (Silesian tyta /tytka for first graders) as well as new social campaigns such as “Charity tytka”.

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.
