„We don’t like doing…” lingual-cultural image of the Pole-Slav in the lyrics of hip-hop songs from the album Równonoc. Słowiańska dusza of Witold „Donatan” Czamara

Abstract

The aim of the article is a try to reconstruct the lingual image of a Pole-Slav (his appearance, character and personality) contained in the lyrics of hip-hop songs from the album Równonoc. Słowiańska dusza produced by Witold „Donatan” Czamara. An analysis of this fragment of the output of the hip-hop subculture is certainly one of the important elements of the lingual-cultural discourse, which allows to participate in general studies on the universal and specific features of the Polish nation, in this case contained in the language itself. Thanks to the presented songs, it becomes possible to try to answer the question about a set of features that testify to someone’s Polishness, that a some kind of person can be called a real Pole. As a result of the research, it can be concluded that the average Pole is a man with both numerous advantages and disadvantages; someone who is characterized by a profound patriotism, is proud, honorable, brave, strong, defiant and self-confident, but also prone to hate, anger and affrays. He is an extremely hospitable party-goer, who likes to drink a lot, eat well and talk, a man for all seasons, a person with a sense of humor and own opinion, who doesn’t avoid expressive, vulgar language and likes it when everything goes her way.
