O „robaczywych” słowach, czyli nieetycznych zachowaniach językowych w mediach1

Abstract

The text is devoted to discussing examples of unethical linguistic activities. The examples come mainly from performances by Jakub Wątły („Krzywe Zwierciadło”, February 14th 2017) and Jan Pietrzak (concert at „Klub Ronina”, March 21st 2016). In the cited fragments one can observe mechanisms related to, among others, depersonalization, common metaphor, reduction of the Other, aimed at Its degradation and/or ridicule. These are the result of bi-as of interests and ideas, tendentiousness of depiction and emo-tionality of the sender.
