The Concept of Polishness in Diplomatic Discourse

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the concept of polishness in diplomatic discourse. The work presents the dictionary meanings of the lexeme Polishness, and characterizes diplomatic discourse. The basic criteria for distinguishing this type of discourse are the topic (the situation and activities of the Polish diaspora, diplomatic activities for its members) and the sender (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, diplomatic missions abroad). In diplomatic discourse, the Polishness of places and people is the object of interest and concern, and requires institutional support. State representatives express their gratitude for the promotion of Polishness. National and religious holidays are a time to celebrate Polishness and show happiness with one’s origins. From the state’s point of view, Polishness is something to be proud of.
