Nowa deiksa? Nowa anafora? Nowa semantyka? Językowa gra w oczywistość płci
New deixis? New anaphora? New semantics? Language game and the obviousness of sex marking

Summary/Abstract: The investigation of language and language processes is based on the assumption that they are related to a certain verifiable reality. Still, not all parameters of language express the reality in an exact manner. Moreover, the postulate to render strictly the actual properties of designates in language may reveal the hallmarks of a manipulative communication game. In the paper, an analysis of some fragmentary, chosen, although in the general perspective viewed as representative examples of use of certain elements of deictic and anaphoric character in marking the sex of a designate (not always identical with the grammatical value of gender in Polish) is proposed in terms of such a game in the texts from the contemporary Polish communicative domain.
