Summary/Abstract: The article proposes that an internet website, in terms of linguistics, is perceived and described as a space. The subject of qualitative research presented in the article are posts written by the users of a vortal addressed to the website’s administration. An analysis of the content of these posts has confirmed that the website is treated as a public space that, first and foremost, shares information, but also allows for interaction. In addition, the article provides an endogenous perspective on the subject matter, i.e. that of the creator of the website, for whom it constitutes a private space.
