Linguistic Creation of the Relations Between men and Women: on the Basis of Chosen Manuela Gretkowska's and Janusz Korwin-mikke's Columns Kamila Kuros-kowalska

The linguistic analysis of this paper comprises a selection of features by Manuela Gretkowska and Janusz Korwin-Mikke. The languages of both sexes have been analyzed in order to show the way in which the images of women and men are created. The meanings of the feminist?s and the antifeminist?s texts have been considered significant not only on the pragmatic and semiotic level, but also on the cultural one. A great deal of attention has been devoted to the purely linguistic aspect and elements such as vulgarisms, diminutives, neologisms, aphorisms and new idioms have been analyzed in detail. The paper contains proof that both women and men still perceive each other in a very stereotypical way, which considerably affects relations between them.
