The Picture of the Black Sea in Polish and in Polish Parliamentary Discourse. A Corpus Analysis

Summary/Abstract: In this article I present the results of corpus and lexicographic analyses of the bigram black sea. I conduct frequency, semantic, emotional and pragmalinguistic analyses of this proper name – Black Sea. I extracted these contexts from the corpora of Polish: Corpus of Parliamentary Discourse, NKJP and Monco.pl. As a result of my analysis, I obtained a linguistic picture of the Black Sea in the Polish communicative community. In parliament – in the texts of which this onim appears – the dominant negative emotion accompanying the basic theme, i.e. (current) politics, for the purpose of which, among other things, the mechanism of post-truth and post-memory are constructed using this name as elements of so-called historical politics. In general, the concept expressed by the bigram Black Sea is located on the periphery of the Polish linguistic worldview; does not constitute a prototype of “maritimeness”. The analyzed structure sends users of modern Polish to spatially, historically and mentally distant areas of Central Europe, to its southern part.
