This article addresses the classical theory of linguistic picture of the world which was introduced by W. Humboldt. According to this approach, every language, characteristic for a certain speaking (speech?) community, has a specific way in which the world is perceived (Weltansicht). Polish linguists working on the so-called Linguistic Picture of the Wold framework departed from this initial notion,...
The present paper is a reply to a polemic published by prof.

Opinions on the scope and methods of transferring grammatical knowledge in teaching a foreign language, are diverse. One issue, however, should be standing beyond doubt. A version of description has to meet two conditions if it is to be accepted as a basis: 1. it has to be agreed upon, that is as free from controversy as it is possible, and necessarily, free from inconsistency, and 2. it has to reflect...
Fashionable words appear in every linguistic period. They are used much more often than necessary. This frequency cannot be rationally explained, it blurs meaning of the lexeme and makes the speakers unaware of others synonymic words. The author presents a set of today fashionable Polish words and analyses reasons of the phenomenon from the point of view of the culture of language.
