Wartościujące nazwy osób w komentarzach internetowych na portalu Onet.pl

Abstract

The most important aim of this paper was to collect evaluative vocabulary used on the internet, on the assumption that such lexis is a constitutive characteristic of the internet variety of contemporary Polish. Therefore, the dictionary of terms collected by the author constitutes the major part of this work. It contains neologisms, colloquialisms, expressive terms and insults. The material was excerpted from two hundred comments posted on the internet portal Onet.pl. The comments refer to the articles concerning politics, celebrities and the controversial events which took place in Poland in September 2016. Many of the terms identified in the analysed comments are not recorded in contemporary lexicographic sources (e.g. Kim Dzong Khaczka and fapredaktorek). Their meanings can only be decoded with reference to the context in which they were used.
