Abstract:

Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of Law and Justice party, once confused the words of the Polish nationalanthem by singing: „Marsz, marsz Dąbrowski, z ziemi polskiej do Wolski”. The aim of this article is to analyzethe role of the neologism Wolak, based on his slip of the tongue Wolska, in Internet users’ discourse. Thefollowing paper verifies the thesis about the exploitation of this neologism by the antagonists of the partyin order to build a discursive dominance over its supporters. The neologism Wolak operates in the discourseas a sociotype (the stereotype of the Other inspired by his belonging to a social group). French praxematics,the foundations of which form the methodological and theoretical basis of this article, provides very usefultools for the qualitative analysis of this phenomenon.
