Profilowanie i kontekstualizowanie Zeitenwende w polskim dyskursie prasowym
Linguistic profiling and contextualisation of Zeitenwende in Polish press discourse

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the adoption and adaptation of the German term Zeitenwende in Polish press discourse. To this end, the author analysed a corpus of texts published in selected newspapers and opinion weeklies representing a range of ideological perspectives. The analysis focused on the translation of the term Zeitenwende into Polish, the meanings attributed to it (conceptual profiling), and the adaptational strategies employed. Additionally, the contexts in which the term appears were analysed, and differences in its adaptation were identified depending on the authors’ ideological standpoints. The detailed analysis is preceded by an overview of the lexeme Zeitenwende in German, including its dictionary definitions, historical usage, and appearances in speeches by German politicians. The study employs the methodological framework of the Dusseldorf school of discourse research and the concept of linguistic and discursive worldviews. The analysis confirms the hypothesis that Zeitenwende may serve as a useful keyword for analysing contemporary discourse.
