Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe selected word formation structures present in the statements made by Internet users commenting on the events which took place in the Polish Sejm in December 2016. The object of the analysis is primarily new expressions, coined and fully comprehensible in a specific socio-political context, such as: Majdanek, Ciamajdan and koderasta. The author describes their structure and communicative function. Most of the derivatives discussed in the paper are examples of lexical contaminations with the corresponding conceptual amalgams. The analysis combines the structural description of derivatives with some elements of cognitive methodology: R. Langacker’s dynamic model and G. Fauconnier and M. Turner’s theory of conceptual integration.
