AKSJOLINGWISTYCZNY PORTRET WARTOŚCI I ICH POSTRZEGANIE PRZEZ POLSKOJĘZYCZNĄ I UKRAIŃSKOJĘZYCZNĄ MŁODZIEŻ AKADEMICKĄ
AXIOLINGUISTIC PORTRAIT OF VALUES AND THEIR PERCEPTION BY POLISH-SPEAKING AND UKRAINIAN-SPEAKING ACADEMIC YOUTH

Summary/Abstract: Values are an essential, intrinsic part of language and the linguistic view of the world. They are associated with the point of view and perspective of perception of the surrounding reality, and the linguistic view of the world is derived from the presumed value system. When studying language, one can discuss values, their hierarchy, the cultural orientation of the system of judgments and patterns, ways of judging, typical of a given community. Interest in the influence of values on worldview and, consequently, on intercultural communication resulted in a study in the form of an associative experiment among Polish and Ukrainian youth. Its results showed that the perception of values is most often similar or even the same in both nationality groups, e.g. associative interpretations of such phenomena as health, love, friendship, etc. Differences in understanding are more noticeable in values that are ranked differently, cf. security, honesty, etc.
