Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the linguistic convention of a journey used in the Radio Szczecin programme “Time machine” broadcasted in 2012–2015. Altogether 165 broadcastings were analysed of average length of 55 minutes each. The research material was collected in the form of the recordings and transcriptions. A lexical-pragmatic method of description of the radio text was used to identify the lexis specific to the selected problems and point to its pragmatic functions. The whole programme adopted the convention of a journey, which is visible both in its subject-matter and in a wide range of the linguistic and stylistic devices. The article contains the quotations from the analysed broadcastings, thereby demonstrating the discussed nuances of language communication in a broad context.
