Summary/Abstract: The author of the article presents the review of the monograph written by Ewa Gorlewska. The monograph is based on research methods used in linguistics. E. Gorlewska classifies her book to the “language of values” (axiolinguistics). The author of the review simultaneously assigns it to constitutional juryslinguistics. The monograph consists of two parts. The first one contains an analysis of dictionary and textual meanings of the names of constitutional values. The second presents their colloquial understanding by young Poles. E. Gorlewska argues that the textual meanings of constitutional values differ from its colloquial understanding by twenty-year-olds and claims that there are some differences between the constitutional hierarchy of values and the hierarchy of values of young people. The author of the article finds the monograph very valuable, interesting and of significant importance for constitutional law.
