Summary/Abstract: The theme of the article are lexical (vocabulary and phraseology) parameters forthe sin of anger in Poznań urban dialect. Anger is a sin most (in comparison with othersins) represented at the lexical level of this dialect (159 units). The authors suggestlinguistic picture of the manifestations of this sin in two different areas – physical(physical aggression) and psychological (verbal aggression). The analyzed vocabulary,most strongly marked expressively, mainly refers to the anger that is directed at theperson (less for situations almost never on objects). This is consistent with thetheological perspective on sin in terms of personalistic – as the guilt of the person overanother person.
