Abstract:

The article aims to describe how the Internet generation uses, in natural speech in a new medium, themythology-based phraseological inventory (of Graeco-Roman provenance) for virtual communication.The analysis of research data gathered from forum and discussion group posts, based on Stanisław Bąba’sphraseological innovation typology, indicates that in everyday talk Internet users do make use of highbrowmythological phrases and have no qualms about modifying them, changing their structure and syntacticcollocability. Several factors can be the source of such a practice, including active Internet users’ level ofcultural and linguistic competence, their imitation of speech patterns emanating from the media, consciousreference to tradition and playfully toying with it, along with the specificity of online linguistic communicationand the quality of Polish it occasions.
