Prasa jako źródło wiedzy o języku
Newspapers as a source of knowledge about language

Summary/Abstract: In the article, the author discusses several important newspapers’ features which are of a special value to a linguist. It has been pointed out that newspapers are an irreplaceable source to the studies of thematic fi elds and lexical layers (special, vernacular, environmental). Particular attention has been paid to the process of borrowings’ polonization, especially Anglo-American. The most striking feature of the newest and latest borrowings excerpted from the press and Internet texts is their level of spelling variance. Press texts which shape public opinion through announcing and explaining current events and phenomenons, give linguists the ability to work out and improve study methods of text function, especially limits among their informative, persuasive and manipulative function.
