With the appearance of the social networking service, Facebook, the notion of 'liking' has gained an additional meaning. The aim of this article is to discuss the phenomenon of neosemantisation of the verb 'lubić' ('like') in the Polish version of the website. The author distinguishes between three Facebook-specific meanings of this verb: 'to be fond of something', 'to be related to something' and 'to recommend something'. The discussion of the phenomenon of neosemantisation of the verb 'lubić' is accompanied by an analysis of its occurrences through the example of Facebook-related elements on websites of universities and colleges in Warsaw.
