Summary/Abstract: A linguistic picture of the world is such a vision of reality existing in the minds of people forming a language community which is fixed in words. The results of empirical research presented in this paper lead to the conclusion that no elements of the so-called striptease culture or confessing culture, or the phenomena of de-tabooisation or eroticisation, perceived as inherent traits of the contemporary mass culture, are observed within the love and eroticism prototypes – components of the linguistic world view of the women in early adulthood examined in this study.
