Tabu – wartość czy antywartość, czyli o pojęciu tabu we współczesnych polskich tygodnikach opinii
Taboo – value or antivalue? Taboo in contemporary Polish weekly magazines

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at analyzing the notion of taboo in Polish weekly magazines. It discusses the lexical meaning of the word and linguistic contexts in which it usually appears. The Author looks at the differences in which conservative and liberal weeklies view the notion of taboo. The paper argues that “Newsweek” and “Polityka” use taboo as one of the most crucial antivalues, while right-wing oriented “Do Rzeczy” and “wSieci” assessments of taboo depends on the point of reference.
