Rzecz o damach, rycerzach i bałwanach... Semantyka ‘spojrzenia’ w powieści Witkacego 622 upadki Bunga, czyli Demoniczna kobieta

Abstract

The article is a linguistic analysis of the realization of a paragon of chivalrous love in the novel “622 upadki Bunga” (622 Downfalls of Bungo) by Witkacy. The collected linguistic material is focused on the semantics of a “glance” being a determinant of the paragon of love, which is conceptualized on the level of the text. Its purpose is to show a way in which the author uses this cultural and linguistic paragon of love, which has consolidated in the Western culture, thus creating a linguistic image of a woman on the lexical and semantic level of the work.
