This article presents the phenomenon of media voyeurism — the act of enjoying watching other people’s private behaviour or suffering and sensationalism, as one of the basic needs of a contemporary tabloid consumer. The author considers the problem of publishing that which is private, intimate, for the benefit of the popularity of a chosen press title and in order to attract readers. The analysis of texts contained in Fakt presents the reality of its regular consumers — simple, abbridged, and condensed to a few utterances supplemented with attractive graphics. The reality full of extreme emotions which ultimately reduces the problem to a fundamental dichotomy: good–bad, we–they (strangers).

The article is a contribution to research on the sociolect of Polish gays and the lexis of homosexuality. In it, a comparison is made between selected Polish terms for homosexual men (ciota and ciepły) with semantically equivalent terms in some European languages English, German, French, Italian, Czech, Slovak, and Slovene. By studying relationships between the lexemes and their derivatives, with account being taken of the aspects of (covertly developing) culture, a network of links between these units is revealed. This illustrates the idea of (a degree of) linguistic unification of the gay community regardless of nationality.

W artykule (stanowiącym przyczynek do badań socjolektu polskich gejów i słownictwa z pola leksykalnego homoseksualności) autor porównuje wybrane w języku polskim nazwy mężczyzn o homoseksualnej orientacji (ciota i ciepły) z tożsamymi semantycznie nazwami w wybranych językach indoeuropejskich, tj. angielskim, niemieckim, francuskim, włoskim, czeskim, słowackim i słoweńskim. Badając relacje między wskazanymi wyżej leksemami wraz z ich derywatami, przy jednoczesnym uwzględnieniu wpływających nań elementów (kształtującej się w ukryciu) kultury, autor pokazuje zachodzące między nimi wzajemne powiązania, potwierdzające pewien stopień językowej unifikacji społeczności gejów niezależnie od ich narodowości.

Who (and what) was silent about the story told by heteronormative society? And how is the fragment of this story seen by “Others”? The article shows that the time of “queer before gay” includes (in Polish) not only well-known names such as: aunt or pedal, but also slang: ‘lala’ (doll), ‘przyjaciółki’ (friends), ‘siostry’ (sisters in Polish, girls in English), gays “from the outside of society”, as well as heterosexuals who got a ticket to the alternative world of the excluded. I tell this story from the perspective of the performative function of language (Althusser, Austin, Butler) and mechanisms of knowledge/power (Foucault). I focus on the activities of homosexual men encoded in their “hiding language” (sociopolitan gay). I show how the creation of the “homosexual” identity closed the community of aunts and pedals in a precisely defined form. And how camp and queering reality allowed them to function in this form. This article is thus another element of decoding the so-called language of concealment, so-called sociolect of Polish gays (aunts and pedals) and queering history of Poland (part of the queering history of Central and Eastern Europe).

Recurring discussions, not only on the internet, about the names of vegetarian and vegan dishes drawing on the names of meat dishes (or dairy dishes) have become an inspiration for research which, I hope, will help answer the following question: “Can fish be made of celery like pork made of chicken?”. Drawing on, among others, a lexicographic analysis of selected names, their neosemanticisation, functions of culinary onyms as well as the basic premises of general semantics, I will endeavour to present the motivation of the authors of the analysed blogs, which prompts them to assign to plant dishes names with connotations suggesting their animal origin.

Gay zines of the 1980s and 1990s make up a unique communication space of gay communities at a time when communication was clearly problematic (and in small towns even impossible), especially given the fact that communication over the internet did not begin until the mid-1990s. That is why the press became a sort of gay information agency, a platform for information and experience sharing and — most importantly — a record of the language of sexual minorities at the time. In the article the author describes the spaces (real and mental) presented in gay magazines, their names and selected names (of things, types of behaviour etc.) inextricably linked to these spaces. In his research he draws on M. Foucault’s concept of heterotopia and on the concept of subversion of space essential to the building of a gay community at the time. He points to the process of creating such spaces by taking over and recoding as well as redefining, in the gay sociolect, what was originally heteronorma­tive. Finally, he draws a linguistic map of the spaces of gay culture.

The aim of the article is to examine changes that have taken place in the perception of same-sex relationships and adoption of children by same-sex couples in the daily press over the last 10 years (since January 2004). Writing about “gay and lesbian families,” the author takes into account various forms of same-sex relationships, from marriage to civil union, as well as the so-called “families of choice,” in which same-sex parents raise at least one child. The image of such relationships is based on a linguistic analysis of articles published in the Gazeta Wyborcza daily between January 2004 (when there was a discussion in the media about Poland’s accession to the European Union and social changes associated with it) and December 2013 (when successive states legalised same-sex marriage). The author of the article examines the lexis used to describe homosexuals, attempts to clarify concepts by definition attributed to heterosexuals as well as ways of notating them (e.g. in inverted commas), redefinitions and neologisms. In addition, he points to specific linguistic means and potential persuasion strategies, painting a (linguistic) portrait of homosexual families.

In modern narratives, the island of Spinalonga appears an attractive tourist destination with an interesting and enigmatic history. In fact, Spinalonga is a memory space, encumbered with past political decisions and medical negligence. This is the story of the great confinement, the isolation of the sick who were symbolically killed. Meanwhile, the photos shared on Instagram show the island in a completely different light. The article seeks to answer the following questions: Does the behavior of Instagram users disrupt the culture of memory and how do these photos (digital representations of memory) influence the image of the island? To this end, I outline the history of the island in the context of exclusion mechanisms for those with Hansen's disease. I discuss the issues of dark tourism, social photo and desemantization of communication. I juxtapose the whole thing with the examples of photos from Spinalonga published on Instagram in 2022.
