This paper is<br>an attempt to confront dictionary definitions of “patriotism” lexeme with the resources of the National<br>Corpus of the Polish Language PWN, examples of modern literary texts, press and Internet<br>discourse, as well as recorded conversations and ephemeral prints included therein. The notions<br>of patriotism and patriots are currently used not only for political, religious and cultural as well as<br>nationalistic purposes, but also for those humorous and hard-hitting ones. The theoretical framework<br>of this article is determined by selected aspects of the linguistic tradition of valuation, based on the<br>points where linguistics and axiology intersect. The linguistic analysis allows the observation of the<br>most recent contexts of patriotism and the changes taking place in discourse.</p> ER -
