Cultural relationships between selected terms for gays

Summary/Abstract: The article is a contribution to research on the sociolect of Polish gays and the lexis of homosexuality. In it, a comparison is made between selected Polish terms for homosexual men (ciota and ciepły) with semantically equivalent terms in some European languages English, German, French, Italian, Czech, Slovak, and Slovene. By studying relationships between the lexemes and their derivatives, with account being taken of the aspects of (covertly developing) culture, a network of links between these units is revealed. This illustrates the idea of (a degree of) linguistic unification of the gay community regardless of nationality.
