Political incorrectness or political discredit. The case of contemporary political national press in Poland (aimed at young adult)

Abstract

The contemporary political national press critically refers to all manifestations of political correctness. It regards it as a form of censorship. Instead, this kind of political press makes use of the language of political incorrectness. It is an expression of opposition and a method of counteracting the normative political principle. The objective of research includes obtaining an answer to the following research question: “What are the features of the political language of incorrectness used in the contemporary youth national press?” To do so, three magazines were analysed: “Bastion”, “My, Nowe Pokolenie!”, and “Wszechpolak”. At the time of the research, each of the titles under consideration was affiliated with the All-Polish Youth Association.
